Ex-Chancellor George Osborne’s former teacher at the prestigious private school is now facing additional jail time after sexually abusing 2 boys.
David Samson, also known as David Egan Samson-Mallett, 74, was employed at St Paul’s Preparatory School (formerly Colet Court) in Barnes, southwest London, in the late 1970s.
Samson, who was 14 years old at the time of his crimes against three children aged 14-18, was imprisoned for nine months.
One of those victims had attended St Paul’s while the other two went to Spencer Park School in Wandsworth, and De Stafford School in Caterham, Surrey, between 1976 and 1983.

Samson pleaded guilty to gross indecency in April with a child under 16 years old, three counts each of indecent assaults and one count buggery.
These charges concern two boys that he assaulted between 1976 and 1980.
Samson was sentenced to Southwark Crown Court’s new charges for his current term at HMP Ashfield, Bristol.
Covid was present so the hearing was postponed.
Samson left St Paul’s School in 1975 and moved to Spencer Park School in Wandsworth, where he taught between 1976 and 1981.
He went on to teach at a girls’ school until 1991.
