Victim: System that let paedophile return to school ‘a joke’

THE system which allowed a convicted paedophile to return to his school caretaker position and abuse four more boys has been branded a joke by his original victim.

On Monday, Michael Ferry, 55, was jailed for 14 years for the rape and sexual abuse of four boys in the school over a 15-year period up to 2005.

The school where he worked continued to employee him even after a 2002 conviction for sexually abusing a boy in the 1980s.
