Referring to the success of the school's shows and in getting children from non Welsh-speaking homes to feel passionately about the language, the man said: "I was working hard on those shows.
Owen killed himself after failing to appear at Cardiff Crown Court to face trial for the sexual abuse of pupils, which led to an investigation in 2004 by Peter Clarke, the children's commissioner for Wales at the time. "He was a man who gave me a load of advice, there was a gentle and kind side to him and he could bring the best out of me," one said.
"If you weren't 100% with him, you were against him and you were the enemy. That's how he manipulated us."And when the sexual abuse began I switched off and tried to pretend I was somewhere else."

His behaviour sounds so similar to that of the abusers in ‘Football’s Darkest Secret’, demanding loyalty and manipulating pupils who wanted his praise.
