Shrewsbury Crown Court heard how Groome's crimes went undiscovered for decades
Richard Groome, now of Somerset, sexually assaulted a vulnerable boy while he was working in a senior role at a boarding school in south Shropshire more than 30 years ago.
The boy had been sent to the school in Shropshire having had a difficult relationship with his family and being put into care. He had enjoyed his time there and began developing socially before being victimised by Groome, Shrewsbury Crown Court heard.
