Geoffrey Dolamore, a former maths teacher, groomed and sexually abused boys at Forest Hill School in the 1970s. The abuse was unreported, allowing him to continue teaching and later work with a children's charity. In 2020, Dolamore was exposed for abusing another boy starting when the child was nine years old. The first victim reported the abuse to police in 2022, leading to Dolamore's guilty plea to 13 charges. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison, facing the possibility of dying behind bars.
Geoffrey Dolamore groomed and sexually abused two boys over several decades, with the abuse going unreported for years, culminating in a guilty plea to 13 charges in 2022.
The victim of Dolamore's 1970s abuse described enduring lifelong impacts from the trauma, citing mental health struggles and substance abuse, directly blaming the teacher for the suffering.
Despite presenting himself as a caring figure during the grooming process, Dolamore subjected his first victim to horrific sexual abuse while the boy was vulnerable.
Upon being arrested, Dolamore demonstrated a lack of remorse, acknowledging to police his sexual interest in boys aged 15 to 17.
