Broadcaster Nicky Campbell has hit out at delays in bringing an alleged abuser at his former school to justice while he lives in luxury.
Now he has warned that if the Crown Office does not pursue extradition with urgency, Wares would be able to see out his remaining years in sun-soaked luxury. Nicky said: “As children, we spoke about it with each other, but not with the authorities. There was shame, guilt and the need to protect parents.”
"He is absolutely one of the most horrific paedophiles in our history and the impact he has had on so many people is devastating.” Yesterday, a video-recorded conversation between Nicky and Neil was played to a press conference hosted by Women + Men Against Child Abuse , a justice campaign group in South Africa demanding justice for Wares’ victims. Neil said in his introduction: “I was in Wares’ class from September 1972 to June 1973 and he sexually and physically abused me every day right through the school year.”
He said: “You carry guilt and shame for life. You lack confidence, even when people give you praise, you feel you’re not good enough. It affects your ability to trust, your ability to have normal, healthy physical contact with people without cringing.
