Victim of paedophile weatherman Fred Talbot tells of his anger at watching his attacker on TV

Talbot was said to have been 'obsessed' with teenage boys throughout his
teaching career and 'could not help himself' around them when under the
influence of drink

A man who was sexually abused by paedophile weatherman Fred Talbot has spoken of the torment of watching his abuser on television for decades before seeing him brought to justice.

The former ITV presenter was convicted of a string of offences yesterday after jurors heard how he coerced young boys into simulating naked orgies on school trips in the 1970s and 80s.

He was remanded in custody after being found guilty of two sexual assaults against two boys and faces up to ten years in jail when sentenced next month.

Another 20 alleged assaults, said to have taken place in Scotland, are being investigated.

Now one of his victims has spoken of the horror of having to see the 65-year-old enjoy national acclaim as the once-beloved face of This Morning's weather for years after enduring his depravity.

The man, now in his fifties, is one of five to have had their cases heard at Manchester Crown Court.  (more...)
