Following a 197-page inquiry into the activities of Smyth, Winchester, the elite independent school, apologised ‘unreservedly’ for its part in the ‘terrible experiences’ of John Smyth’s victims. In a statement, it said: ‘The review … demonstrates in particular that John Smyth QC was able to infiltrate the College’s Christian community and gain access to the college’s pupils, providing him with the opportunity to groom and then abuse them.’
