Britain could 'live to regret' a rush to criminalise schoolboys after an explosion of school sex abuse claims, a former Director of Public Prosecutions warned yesterday. He spoke out after the national police spokesman on child protection, Chief Constable Simon Bailey, heralded it as the 'next big child sexual abuse scandal to hit the country'. The Girls' Schools Association (GSA), which represents more than 100 top British girls' private schools, said that in some cases they are referring incidents to the police. GSA schools include James Allen's Girls' School (JAGS), attended by some of the girls making accusations about Dulwich College boys. Girls and young women sharing their experiences is one thing; it's quite another to establish how many of these events actually took place.
