Paedophile Teacher Peter Graham Wells Jailed Again for Historic Abuse
Peter Graham Wells, 75, with no fixed address, faced Wood Green Crown Court on Friday, 10 September 2021. He admitted horrific sexual abuse carried out while teaching at an Enfield school in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s.
Shocking Abuse Spanned Nearly a Decade
Wells pleaded guilty to two counts of gross indecency and five counts of indecent assault against two boys under 14 years old. The offences took place between 1977 and 1986.
Already Behind Bars for Similar Crimes
The vile acts were reported to police in 2018 and 2019, after Wells was jailed for similar abuse and sentenced to 15 years in December 2018. Now, he has been handed an additional 12 months to run concurrently with his existing sentence.
Police Label Wells a Dangerous Sexual Predator
Detective Constable Keith Kimberley said: “I am in no doubt that this man is a dangerous sexual predator and he poses an ongoing threat to children. He caused unforgivable trauma to the children he abused and the only appropriate way for him to spend the next years of his life is in prison, and away from the general public.”
“As far as we can be sure of, Wells offended over a period of several decades and my respect goes out to the victims and their families who were put through so much.”
“The Public Protection teams across the Met work relentlessly to identify sexual offenders and prevent any harm coming to potential victims. Where predators carry out abuse, we ensure they face justice.”
Support for Victims
Anyone wishing to report sexual offences can do so in confidence. The Met Police has trained officers ready to investigate and support victims through the criminal justice process.
