Former Seaford Teachers Charged with Historic Child Sex Offences
Two former teachers from a private school in Seaford have been charged with multiple child sex offences following investigations into allegations spanning several decades.
In a separate case, George Haynes, 73, of Church Lane in Redmile, Leicestershire, was charged following an investigation into allegations from 11 victims. Haynes, who taught English and drama at Newlands Manor School between 1986 and 1992, faces 29 charges. These include 20 counts of indecent assault on a male over 16, five counts of indecent assault on a child under 16, three counts of attempted indecent assault on a boy under 16, and one count of buggery against a boy under 16. Haynes has also been remanded in custody.

Both men are scheduled to appear in separate hearings at Lewes Crown Court on Monday, 24 February. Sussex Police continue to investigate historical abuse allegations and have urged any other potential victims or witnesses to come forward.
Authorities have stressed the importance of bringing justice to victims of past abuse, no matter how long ago the crimes took place. The case has reignited discussions about safeguarding policies in private schools and the need for greater accountability in protecting children.
