A PERVERTED teacher from Colfe's private school in Lee has been jailed for three years after sexually assaulting two boys.
Peter Donoghue, aged 52, who neighbours say left his Eltham home in Avery Hill Road after the allegations surfaced, was arrested on May 30 last year.
He had carried out the assaults on two 11-year-olds two days previously at an educational camp in Windmill Hill, near Herstmonceux, East Sussex.
Donoghue denied the offences but, following a trial at Lewes Crown Court, was convicted last month of two counts of sexually assaulting a child under the age of 13.
Today (August 16) he was sentenced to three years in jail for each count, to run concurrently.
He was also signed on to the Sex Offenders’ Register indefinitely and disqualified from working with children.
