its weird shit. when I was a guitar teacher I always INSISTED kids had their parents at the lessons. No way I was going to be vulnerable to that sort of thing.

Mind you parents should be able to send their kids off to the Guildhall of Music without worrying about their kids innocence being violated. or any school for that matter.

Its an odd one. Really, I can remember when I was a teacher - there were teachers on the staff, that the kids whispered about - that were rumoured to be crossing the line. In all cases the teachers had wives and families. Obviously the school wasn't keen to open up a can of worms.

the flawed arist - I dunno. Oscar Wilde went out and got rentboys that were up for it, and felt the fury of the law.. Roman Polanski. Errol Flynn....

I have a feeling that in the tragedy of this man and his victims are a a whole raft of problems.
