A paedophile former teacher has pleaded guilty to abusing three schoolboys.
39-year-old Chris Fox admitted seven charges of engaging in non-penetrative sexual activity with a child at Swindon Crown Court on Monday (13 April).
Three boys, aged 13 to 15, were sexually abused by the defendant – who worked a teacher and archery coach – in 2017, 2021 and 2022.
Fox previously worked at various schools in Swindon, including Drove Road Primary School, Mountford Manor Primary School and Lawn Manor Academy.
He also ran Black Cat Archery, which was based at Roves Farm near Swindon.
Fox, of Hawthorn Avenue, Pinehurst, denies three related charges – including inciting a child to engage in penetrative sexual activity, sexual communications with a child and assault a boy aged 12 by sexual touching.
The Crown Prosecution Service has two weeks to decide how to proceed with the not guilty pleas. They could take it to trial or allow the counts to lie on file.
He is due to be sentenced at the same court on 4 June. He was released on bail with conditions not to contact the victims or witnesses in the case, nor have unsupervised contact with under 16s.
Judge Townsend ordered the defendant to register as a sex offender. The length in which he will remain on subject to notification requirements will be decided on sentence.
