Ian Farquarson was found dead only hours after a complaint about his conduct
Dozens of pupils abused by a paedophile teacher are taking Sefton Council to court more than 30 years after the predator killed himself.
The ECHO has previously spoken to one man, a former pupil, who described how Farquarson tried to rape him in a toilet and sexually abused him dozens of times. The victim said he believed Farquarson's death was an attempt to "avoid accountability." Now Andrew Grove & Co Solicitors, based in Cambridgeshire, said it will "shortly" be issuing civil court proceedings against Sefton Council on behalf of 57 former pupils. One client said: "That man ruined my life, physically and emotionally. Every day I am in physical pain which reminds me of the abuse I suffered at his hands.
