- Iain Wares, 86, who was found to have indecently assaulted a pupil in Cape Town in 1988, has had his sentencing postponed for a third time; the next procedural hearing is set for 21 July and he’s not expected to attend.
- He faces numerous historical abuse allegations from former pupils of Edinburgh Academy and Fettes College, and extradition from South Africa to Scotland has been repeatedly delayed amid legal challenges.
- The case has high public interest—accusers include figures linked to the media like BBC presenter Nicky Campbell—and prosecutors say there are many additional serious charges, which Wares denies.
