By Danielle Vincent
Switalskis’ are appealing for witnesses following the conviction of Paul Dowbekin who was a teacher at All Hallow School, in Shepton Mallet, Somerset.
Dowbekin worked at All Hallow School where he sexually abused a number of pupils. He was convicted in 2018 for 14 offences of abusing eight boys at the school.
Switalskis’ is currently representing a client who has instructed us to bring a claim against the school for the sexual abuse they were subjected to whilst a pupil at the school.
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.
