BROADCASTER Nicky Campbell has hit out at delays in bringing an alleged abuser at his former school to justice while he lives in luxury.
Iain Wares, 83, is still living in an upmarket retirement community in Cape Town, South Africa, four years after a raft of allegations of brutal physical and sexual abuse against him were made public.
Nicky, 61, previously told how he watched as Wares abused a friend of his while a schoolboy at Edinburgh Academy.
Now he has warned that if the Crown Office does not pursue extradition with urgency, Wares would be able to see out his remaining years in sun-soaked luxury.
Nicky said yesterday: “For him to die in comfort in South Africa would break the hearts of many men who are already broken.”
Wares, who taught at Tony Blair’s old school Fettes College as well as Edinburgh Academy, faces more than 80 charges of historic abuse in Scotland relating to more than 40 victims.
Nicky said: “As children, we spoke about it with each other, but not with the authorities. There was shame, guilt and the need to protect parents.”
He added: “The most heinous thing about this man, we have established through friends, is that this behaviour happened on a daily basis for years and years.
