Stephen Jackson was hired by two British schools despite facing multiple child abuse allegations in the USThe UK teachers’ watchdog has launched an investigation into alleged misconduct by an American teacher who the Guardian revealed was hired by two British schools despite previously admitting molesting boys. The 72-year-old was recruited to teach English to 11- to 14-year-old boys despite facing multiple child abuse allegations in the US. The investigation by the National College of Teaching and Leadership was launched shortly after Jackson left the country in October. Despite police investigations, Jackson has never been charged or convicted. Bernie Escalante, the investigations lieutenant at Santa Cruz police department, said there were three investigations into Jackson in the 1990s.
