A report by the North Wales Safeguarding Board has found that more individuals have come forward alleging sexual abuse by Neil Foden, dating back to 1979.
Foden, 68, was previously jailed for 17 years in July 2024 after being convicted of 19 counts of sexual abuse against four girls between 2019 and 2023.
“Since Foden’s conviction in July 2024, further victims have come forward. The earliest alleged sexual abuse was in 1979 when Foden had just qualified as a teacher and was in his first post.”
The 107-page report issues 27 recommendations and notes: “Given the significant changes in society’s understanding of child sexual abuse, reviewing practices in operation at that time would not increase current learning. The victim from 1979 agrees with this position.
