The baritone Michael de Costa has been placed under a sexual risk order for five years, banning him from being alone in his academy with a female pupil under the age of 18.

De Costa, 78, whose real name is Michael Patterson, was not charged with any offence.

Claims on his website that he sang leading roles at English National Opera are unfounded.
