A BBC programme exposing the sexual abuse scandal of an East Lothian music teacher will air on television on Monday.

Antonelli, 66, of Gullane, was jailed for eight years in December after a distinguished 40 year career in music education and amateur dramatics.

He was found guilty on charges of rape, lewd and libidinous conduct, and indecent assault against six victims, who cannot be named for legal reasons, after a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh.

The programme follows reporter Tamanna Rahman speaking with the survivors who brought Antonelli to justice and reveals current loopholes in the regulation of children’s performing arts in Scotland.

Former pupils and staff describe how their warnings were ignored and how he was allowed to continue to abuse for decades.

The programme airs on BBC One Scotland on Monday from 10.35pm to 11.15pm.
