A drama teacher has been sent to prison for nine years for indecently assaulting young boys.

Glyn Davies, 71, pleaded guilty to indecent assault after an investigation was launched following allegations two people had been attacked by a private drama teacher in the 1980s.

Davies, from Somerset, ran drama schools in Kent, as well as a few in the Coulsdon and Hampton Hill areas of London.

He was arrested in February and charged on September 29 with two counts of indecent assault on a boy under the age of 14.

Detectives found Davies used the name Glen Knowles to set up drama schools.

He has been ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life.

Detective Constable Helen Lawson, who led the investigation, said: "Davies abused a position of trust and due to the large amount of children who attended his classes there are concerns that there may be other victims who are yet to come forward.

"Davies also used the surnames Knowles, Krauss and Krauss-Davies during the 1980s. I would urge anyone who is yet to speak with police to contact us."

Anyone with information is urged to call officers on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
