Dangerous [sic] paedophile [sic] had Cumbrian school pupils helping him on market stall
"A child sex offender banned from contact with under 16s had school pupils helping him on his stall at a farmers’ market.
DH, 58, was convicted in 2006 of a sexual assault on a 14-year-old pupil at a school in Lancashire and was not allowed to be with children under 16 unsupervised, under the terms of his sex offences prevention order.
But the former head of RE at WS was back in court after he was accused of breaching the order by going to a school in west Cumbria between April 4 last year and March 28 this year.
Carlisle Magistrates’ Court heard how H, of GR, Seascale, had gone to Holme St Cuthbert’s Primary School, at Mawbray, to help at a farmers’ market last June. He was working for the Lakeland Cheese Company and had a stall at the market.
Prosecutor Andrew Travis said H was responsible for the cheese company’s shop and attended farmers’ markets to do promotion work.
Primary school headmistress Sheila Daniel told the court that she spoke to H over the phone to explain about the event and asked him to bring samples of cheese.
“I told him the pupils were organising the event and they would sell the produce, set the stalls up and do the cashing up,” she said.
H, however, claimed he could not remember her telling him that children would be there. He admitted, with “hindsight”, he knew he shouldn’t have been there."
