A SUNDAY school teacher in Bradford has been found guilty of 11 charges including rape, indecent assault and indecency involving two girls.

John Laister, 72, had previously admitted that he indecently assaulted a teenage girl while he was working as a 'house parent' at the now-closed Hilton Grange Children's Home in Bramhope, near Otley, in the early 1970s.

Laister faced three charges of rape, four of indecent assault and four charges of indecency with a child.

He bowed his head as he was found guilty of all 11 charges by the jury which returned after three hours of deliberation today.

He is due to be sentenced at Bradford Crown Court tomorrow.
