Ex-Private School Teacher Caught With Sick Kids Pics Again

A disgraced former teacher at prestigious private boys’ prep school Colet Court has been caught for a second time with indecent images of children.

Ex-Classics master Anthony Paul Fuggle, 64, taught for two decades at the junior division of St. Paul’s School, whose alumni include former Chancellor George Osborne.

Fuggle, of Aristotle Road, Clapham appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court, where he pleaded guilty to a charge of making 73 indecent Category C photographs of children on April 12, 2018.

Six years ago he received four months imprisonment, suspended for two years, after admitting six counts of possessing indecent images of children, plus seven counts of making indecent images of children.

The charges totalled more than a thousand still and moving images of children.

Multiple teachers, who worked at the Barnes school, have been investigated and prosecuted under Operation Winthorope, an investigation into historical sexual abuse at St. Paul’s and Colet Court.

Prosecutor Norleen Ibe told the court: “Officers attended the address of the defendant and searched it in relation to a separate matter.

“His laptop was seized and found to have seventy-three indecent images of children on the hard drive.

“The defendant made no comment when he was interviewed and he does have relevant previous convictions.

“The aggravating feature is the defendant has convictions for similar offences.”

Fuggle is currently on the sex offenders register and reports to Brixton Police Station.

His lawyer Jessica Clarke told the court: “We have commissioned an independent report from a forensic psycho-sexual therapist to asses the risk of harm.

“These images were automatically produced by the computer when browsing websites. The images are cached and stored.”

In 2017 former master Patrick Marshall, 74, who taught at St. Paul’s, received 18 years imprisonment for abusing ten boys in the 1960’s and 1970’s.

In 2016 ex-sports teacher Michael Ellis, 75, received eight-and-a-half years for indecently assaulting two boys and former teacher David Sansom-Mallett, 74, was jailed for 14 years for abusing multiple boys.

Another teacher, ex-history head Keith Perry, 77, was convicted of possessing 600 child abuse images on memory sticks hidden inside an umbrella at his home.

Magistrate Gordon Lawson bailed Fuggle until July 22 for a pre-sentence report, announcing: “We are going to keep all options open.”

Uber Driver Spat In NHS Blood Motorcyclist's Face

Spit: Folorunso

An Uber driver twice spat in the face of an NHS blood delivery motorcyclist when called out for making an illegal U-turn, a court heard yesterday.

The blood was being delivered for a vital transfusion at King’s College Hospital when mini-cab driver Joseph Folorunso, 53, cut across the emergency worker’s path, forcing him to brake.

TfL-registered Folorunso, of Morant Court, Munton Road, Walworth was convicted after a trial of assaulting Samuel Veloso on April 9, last year in New Kent Road, Elephant & Castle.

Mr Veloso was travelling from St Thomas’s Hospital at 3.25 and told Croydon Magistrates’ Court: “Suddenly a driver in heavy traffic did a U-turn in front of me.

“I had to brake hard, put my life at risk and I shouted in a high voice: ‘Please what are you doing?’

“I told him: ‘You shouldn’t do a U-turn here,’ and he responded aggressively and came out of the car and went to punch me.

“I told him there were loads of witnesses and he would be arrested.

NHS: Veloso

“He looked around and then spat twice in my face, all over me. There was spit all over my jacket as well.

“It was a strong spit. He probably thought: ‘I’ll give a big spit.’

“It was very intentional and provocative.”

Mr Veloso, who reported Folorunso to passing police, denied shouting: “Is that the way you drive where you come from in your country.”

He told the trial: “I’m foreign. I was not born in this country and I would not tell someone to go back to their own country.”

When questioned by police Folorunso denied deliberately spitting at the motorcyclist, but accepted some spittle may have accidentally landed on the victim.

He told the court: “He started telling me: ‘Is that how you drive where you come from? You Uber don’t know how to drive.’

“It was kind of a racist comment and he also said: ‘I’ll get you banned. I’ll report you,’ and I was really-really angry.

“I did not spit on him at all. I would not do that, definitely not.”

Bailing Folorunso for a pre-sentence report, magistrate Terry Carpenter told him: “The act of spitting at someone in this day and age is a very nasty and obnoxious act.

“It is deliberately designed to instil fear into the person on the receiving end of it.

“We are going to ask the Probation Service for an all-options report, including possible committal to the Crown Court for sentencing.”

The description was provided by the female victim of an attempted robbery in Roding Valley Park at 4.00pm on Sunday, January 24.

The woman was walking on Roding Valley Park Trail whilst talking on her phone when a man approached her and threatened her with a knife. 

He shouted at her to hand over her phone and the security details to the phone.

Over And Out: Police Sergeant Harassed Woman

A Police Sergeant's career has been destroyed by his “utterly shocking” harassment of a former witness he persistently contacted.

Syed Ali, 46, was attached to the East Area Command Unit when he used his work phone to send unwanted messages to the woman.

He first came into contact with her in 2015 when attached to SO15 – the Counter Terrorism Command.

At Westminster Magistrates’ Court he received six weeks imprisonment, suspended for eighteen months.

Ali was also ordered to complete 200 hours community service work; pay £200 compensation to the victim and was made subject to a three-year restraining order, prohibiting contact with the woman.

He pleaded guilty to one count of harassment.

The sentencing follows an investigation led by the Directorate of Professional Standards, Specialist Investigation Unit.

An allegation was made on July 18, last year that Ali harassed a female member of the public between May and July 2020.

In May 2020, Ali began to engage in unwanted and inappropriate contact with the witness he had contact with in 2015 by messaging her on his work phone.

The woman stated by message that she did not want him to contact her, but Ali persisted. 

The harassment continued through to July 2020.

The harassment was reported and Ali was arrested on July 23 at Ilford Police Station.

Chief Superintendent Stephen Clayman, BCU Commander for the East Area which covers Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge, said: “The way in which Ali conducted himself is utterly shocking.

“This type of conduct has absolutely no place in the organisation and we are committed to bringing the perpetrators of such crimes to justice.”

Ali resigned from the Metropolitan Police on April 30 after entering his guilty plea.

His actions will be referred to an accelerated misconduct hearing in light of his conviction. 

If the matter is proven as Gross Misconduct, Ali will placed upon the College of Policing Barred List, which would prohibit any future police employment.

Drunk Binned For Attacking Police

A drunk, who kicked one police officer and spat in another's face when told to get up, had been jailed.

Homeless Theiventhiram Balakumar, 58 received six months imprisonment when he appeared at Willesden Magistrates Court.

He was found guilty of two counts of assault by beating of an emergency services worker.

The incident happened on September 9, last year when officers from the North West Command Unit were called to Princes Avenue, Kingsbury, following reports of a man collapsed at the rear of a property.

The officers attended and found Balakumar lying on the ground, apparently intoxicated. 

The officers informed him he had to get up, but he became abusive and kicked one of them in the leg.

A second officer approached with a view to detaining him for the assault, but Balakumar spat in the officer’s face.

He was arrested and taken into custody but denied the offences. 

However, he was subsequently charged and convicted of the two assaults.

Inspector Sammi Elfituri from the North West BCU said: “Police officers never know what they will face when they attend an incident.

“In this case, Balakumar who by his own admission had been drinking, lashed out when approached by officers.

“The fact that he spat in the face of one of the officers is abhorrent; this officer had to attend hospital and faced an agonising wait to find out whether they had been infected as a result of this assault.

“Thankfully they hadn’t, but that in no way lessens the disgusting behaviour of Balakumar. 

“He has rightfully been held to account for his actions.”
