EX-READING BLUE COAT SCHOOL TEACHER JOHN IMESON JAILED OVER ABUSE
An ex-private school teacher has been jailed for 16 years for sexually abusing pupils.
John Imeson, 73, abused two boys while working at Reading Blue Coat School in Sonning, Berkshire, in the 1980s.
He was found guilty by a jury of 13 sexual offences during a seven day trial at Reading Crown Court.
Sentencing him, Judge Kirsty Real said the ordeal inflicted on them by the teacher had been a "horrific experience" for his victims.
Imeson, of Fitzroy Crescent, Woodley, was convicted of seven counts of indecent assault, four counts of buggery, indecency with a child, and one count of assault with an intent to commit buggery.
Prosecutor Maryan Syed said the abuse had been "a very serious abuse of trust" and "was persistent in nature and carried out over a sustained period".
