These cases seem to occur in all different religions.
Or in all places, times, voice types or whatever. And to which religion does “being a music teacher” belong?
You are just finding that out?
Don’t say!!!???
You don’t have to belong to any religion or be a Christian to sing in a church choir in London – just sing and sight-read!!
Lock him up and throw away the key.
Innocent until proved guilty.
He’s been convicted.
I used to work in a psych hospital and the head psychologist there said that treatment usually works for men like this who are attracted to underage girls. The recidivism rate for sex offenders is actually lower than it is for most other crimes.
Such a shame. He made numerous recordings as a member of the Cambridge Singers under John Rutter.
