Headteacher was trusted and respected - and he used that to his sick advantage

Neil Foden faces a lengthy prison sentence for his crimes

Neil Foden, 66, was found guilty of 19 of 20 charges against five young girls after a three-week trial at Mold Crown Court. Foden, who worked at a school in north Wales, was slammed as an "arrogant and controlling man" by the judge, who said his excuses for his behaviour "beggared belief."

The evidence presented included the victims accounts. Those accounts were corroborated by the evidence obtained by the police in the form of mobile devices, computers seized, forensic evidence and financial enquiries. Text messages and calls linked Foden, of Gwynant, Old Colwyn, to the victims. Foden denied all charges against him and choose not to answer any question during his police interviews.

"My thoughts remain with the victims and their families today, who have shown dignity and bravery throughout the trial and we will continue to support in moving forward. I will make further comment after the sentencing hearing." "I would also like to thank the specialist team at North Wales Police with whom we closely collaborated from the outset. We were able to present a compelling case to the jury, resulting in these convictions".
