Fresh accusations emerge in South Africa after a BBC series exposed alleged abuse at UK schools.

David Price - who faces trial in South Africa - has also been accused of abusing pupils at Ashdown House in East Sussex

The latest allegations relate to his time at a prestigious all-boys school in Cape Town in the 1980s.The alleged victim contacted Mr Renton after seeing South African media coverage of the BBC's In Dark Corners series - which investigated sexual abuse at Britain's elite boarding schools. "Maybe our best hope is for South Africa to bring him to justice within South Africa because the extradition is not working," one said.Ashdown House closed in 2020. The Prep School Trust, which took over the school in 2009, said it had cooperated fully with all enquiries into the allegations and had "worked tirelessly to ensure no such incidents could ever happen in the school again".

Like Mr Price, he is also from South Africa, and continued to teach when he returned to the country. He too was arrested in 2019 and has been fighting extradition to the UK. "That would then progress to grabbing me and pushing me up against the wall," he said. "He would push himself up against me."
