Fred Talbot found guilty

Former TV weatherman Fred Talbot has been found guilty of historical sex offences against boys he took on school trips to Scotland.

At Lanark Sheriff Court, he was convicted of seven charges of indecent assault in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Talbot was a teacher at a school in the Manchester area at the time and took boys away on camping and boating trips.

Sheriff Nikola Stewart asked for background reports and will sentence him next month.

Talbot, 67, of Greater Manchester, had denied the allegations but was convicted of seven of the nine charges he faced after a nine-day trial.
 
Amazing that it has taken until recent years for his actions to be looked into. I used to hear stories from mates who went to Alti Grammar 30+ years ago about the shit he used to get up to. It was like some big open secret that half of South Manchester seemed to know about.

Yes. If you were ever invited round to Mr Talbot's house to star watch and sleepover, find something else to do
