Broadcaster Nicky Campbell told the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry how he was sexually and physically abused at Edinburgh Academy, describing being 'tossed like a ragdoll' as he was punched and kicked by one teacher.
Presenter Nicky Campbell has described the sexual and physical abuse he says he suffered at the Edinburgh Academy he attended as a child, comparing one teacher to Jimmy Savile.
Speaking on Tuesday, Campbell said he was still"haunted" by his schooldays and had previously turned to prescription medication to cope with the bad memories, but described his decision to share his experiences at the inquiry as"the best decision he had ever made". He said that after the alleged assault, when he threatened to contact the police, his mother had contacted Edinburgh Academy.
The BBC presenter became visibly angry when speaking about Wares living in a"plush retirement home" - and demanded a public apology from Edinburgh Academy, claiming it moved the teacher on to Fettes College, another high-profile school also in Edinburgh.
