Former teacher arrested in Rottingdean school abuse inquiry

An ex-teacher has been arrested on suspicion of alleged child sex offences by detectives investigating abuse at a Rottingdean school 30 years ago.

Four men have reported being sexually assaulted as children by a teacher at the now-closed St Aubyns School between 1990-1995, Sussex Police said.

The 71-year-old man from Cardiff was interviewed under caution and released on bail while inquiries continue.

Former staff and pupils who could help officers were asked to contact police.
