Teacher admits sex charges on girls, 13
PERVERT Fred Morritt will return to court next month to discover his fate after pleading guilty to five further charges of indecent assault – this time on two young girls aged 13.
The former music teacher of Homestead, Clayton Brook, is already serving four years seven months after pleading guilty to five offences of indecent assault on a 12-year-old boy he was teaching. Morritt, aged 66, received his prison sentence following a trial in December 2004.
But the sentencing hearing could not be reported earlier this year because of the further allegations regarding the girls.
He denied them at the time but later returned to court and pleaded guilty to the five offences against the girls which related back to the Sixties and Seventies.
He will be sentenced for these new offences at Preston Crown Court on July 4.
At his trial into abusing the young pupil, Morritt originally denied the allegations but later changed his plea to guilty.
