Witness Appeal - Dennis Fletcher, The King's School, Canterbury

By Danielle Vincent

Published In: Child Abuse

The specialist abuse team at Switalskis are appealing for witnesses following the recent conviction of Dennis Fletcher who was a French Teacher at The King’s School Canterbury.

Fletcher who is now 76 years old worked at The Kings’ School during the 70’s- 80’s. He was convicted at Canterbury Crown Court for abusing two boys at the school and sentenced to 11 years 9 months.

Switalskis is currently representing a client who has instructed us to bring a claim against the school for the sexual abuse he was subjected to by Fletcher.

We are appealing for any witnesses who may be able to assist with our client’s claim.

The culture at the time of the abuse was not to speak out, especially against those in a position of trust which prevented our client from disclosing for decades.

If you, or anyone you know, has any information that may assist this case, please contact me directly by email Danielle.vincent@switalskis.com or phone 07443 370797
