Witness Appeal following abuse at Thorpe Hall School

Bolt Burdon Kemp is appealing for information regarding alleged sexual abuse by Martin Goldberg in the 2000s – 2010s.

Goldberg was deputy head at Thorpe Hall School in Southend-on-Sea and was investigated by police in 2014. These investigations revealed indecent images on Goldberg‘s computer taken in the changing rooms of the independent school and other locations.

Goldberg had taught at Thorpe Hall School for 23 years and was found dead on 10 September 2014, a day after he was contacted by the police, having taken his own life. Bolt Burdon Kemp is currently representing a client who has instructed us to bring a claim against the school for the sexual abuse he was subjected to by Goldberg. We are appealing for any witnesses who may be able to assist with our investigation.
