The Yorkshire Evening Post understands Scott was the headmaster of Woodlesford Primary School at the time of his arrest.

Scott, 53, appeared before Chesterfield Magistrates Court last month to face the charges which are alleged to have been committed in Glossop, Derbyshire.

Scott, of Wycar, Bedale, North Yorkshire, has been charged with ten sex offences involving a teenage boy aged under 16.

The offences are said to have been committed between February 2017 and June 2018.
