The offences were allegedly committed at Frewen College, in Northiam, between 1996 and 2002

A man has been accused of committing sexual offences against boys at an East Sussex school where he worked more than a decade ago.

Darren Turk, 53, of Fontridge Lane in Etchingham, is charged with 14 offences including rape and indecent assault between 1996 and 2002.

At the time he was a member of the care staff, and later head of care, at Frewen College in Northiam.

He has been bailed to appear before Hastings Magistrates' Court on 1 July.

Sussex Police said the charges did not involve any staff or pupils currently at the school.

Frewen College is a day and boarding school for children aged between seven and 19 with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia.
