The broadcaster told the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry he witnessed a primary-age child being sexually assaulted by teacher Iain Wares who he compared to Savile.
Broadcaster Nicky Campbell has told an inquiry of sexual abuse he endured at Edinburgh Academy as he compared a teacher to Jimmy Savile. Mr Campbell, 62, attended the fee-paying schoo, between 1966 and 1978, from the ages of five to 17.
He recalled being in preparatory school when he allegedly saw Wares molesting a pupil aged about 10 years old in the showers. Mr Campbell said: “This has haunted me since it happened. It all haunts you. I have had my penis touched by a teacher. In a two-hour testimony before Lady Smith, Mr Campbell said taking part in the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry was “the best decision he had ever made”. He described himself as a “survivor”, and said: “I’m 62 years old but Hamish Dawson’s hands are still in my underwear playing with my penis.”
Mr Campbell 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.
