A headteacher carried out sickening sexual attacks against young girls. Neil Foden, 66, was found guilty of 19 of 20 charges against five young girls after a three-week trial at Mold Crown Court.

He was convicted of sexual activity with a child, using or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, attempting to arrange or incite sexual activity with a child by penetration, engaging in sexual communication with a child, two counts of sexual activity with a child by a person in a position of trust and possession of an indecent photograph of a child, North Wales Live reported.
