The Kerelaw Scandal

Others worked accused of abuse at Kerelaw School

The police have a 'hit list' of over a 120 ex-staff, that they want to investigate over allegation of abuse. They also claim to be hunting members of a paedophile ring that they say were active within Kerelaw.

This is nonsense.

Glasgow City Council has claimed that Kerelaw staff were guilty of everything from mismanagement of the school, to sexually abusing pupils on a regular basis, right under their noses.

This is nonsense.

There was no institutional or systematic abuse at Kerelaw, nor was there an active paedophile ring, and the only mismanagement was the Council's own mismanagement of the school.

The Council made up these allegations against their own staff, in order to justify the bogus investigation they carried out at the school. The Council had no evidence and, in some instances, they falsified evidence in an attempt to back up their claims.

In order to maximise the number of allegations made against staff, ex-pupils were told about compensation by the Council and police. The police also undertook a massive trawling campaign to secure allegation against John and Matt, and also falsely put the two men together on one of the charges, thus making them co-accused and giving them a better chance of securing a conviction.
