A former teacher accused of abusing children at two private schools in Edinburgh has been named as Iain Wares after an order preventing his identification was lifted.
The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry (SCAI) announced that permission was given by the inquiry’s chair to publish inquiry evidence that identifies Wares.The 83-year-old was previously a “protected person” and was referred to by a pseudonym.
It is alleged he abused children in the 1960s and 1970s at leading boarding school Fettes College and also at Edinburgh Academy.Broadcaster Nicky Campbell, who attended Edinburgh Academy, is among those who have called for Wares, who lives in South Africa, to be extradited to Scotland.
According to the SCAI, a public hearing was held on February 23 at which applications were made by victims and the media to identify Wares.
