Sussex Police investigated after receiving allegations in November 2013
A RETIRED teacher has been charged with historic sex offences against boys at the school where he worked.
Geoffrey Parkin, 66, of Nursery Close, Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, has been charged with nine indecent assaults against a total of six boys then aged between 11 and 12, while he was a teacher at the-then Portslade School For Boys, where the boys were pupils.
The school closed in the late 1970's.
Eight of the alleged offences are alleged to have occurred at a nearby swimming pool, and the ninth at a campsite in Devon.
Parkin is due to appear on police bail at Brighton Magistrates Court on Thursday (January 15).
Detectives from Brighton CID first received allegations about Mr Parkin in November 2013.
