Nigel Leat, 60, was given an indefinite sentence in 2011 after being convicted of abusing five girls, although it is feared he targeted as many as 40 children in classrooms in Somerset. When Leat was sentenced, victims were told it would be many years before his release. One victim, who was just six when she was targeted by Leat, said: ‘He should not be allowed to be released into any community, let alone ours, any time soon. Leat admitted 32 offences against five pupils at a school in Weston-super-Mare between September 2006 and July 2010, including one count of attempted rape and more than 30 sexual assaults.
