In the first of the Scottish Kerelaw trials art teacher Matthew George, 56, and residential care worker John Muldoon, 53, who worked at Kerelaw School, Ayrshire, have been found guilty of physically and sexually abusing some of children they looked after. The pair faced 85 charges dating back 30 years. George was found guilty of 18 charges and Muldoon was found guilty of four. Sentence was deferred for reports. Other trials in relation to Kerelaw are expected later this year.  (see BBC report)

Our thoughts are with Matthew and John and their families, and all those who have been caught up in a investigation which has all the hallmarks of a modern witch hunt with which F.A.C.T. members are so familiar.
