Posted by Ian Proctor on Oct 30, 09 10:57 AM in Crime

A TEACHER from Harrow accused of a two-year fondling campaign involving two 11-year-old boys is to stand trial next year.

Bearded and bespectacled Michael Gordon, 55, of Thrush Green, faces 14 specimen charges of sexually touching the pupils on various dates between September 1 2007 and April 9 this year, contrary to the Sexual Offences Act.

The French and Latin teacher pleaded not guilty to the charges - which carry a maximum sentence of 14 years in jail - at Southwark Crown Court in south-east London on Tuesday last week (27/10).

His trial was fixed to begin on January 25 2010 at the same court and had been given bail in the meantime.
