Overview
The Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown has fronted a UK court to testify that his former school teacher Fred Talbot once showed a porn film in class.
The now 51-year old singer told of being an 11-year old student at Altrincham Grammar School in Manchester between 1974 and 1979. His biology teacher Fred Talbot, who later became a television weatherman in the UK, was on trial for sex offences.
Brown said that it was years later that he realised that Talbot had shown the class a gay sex film while they were young and impressionable students.
Talbot is alleged to have asked the students for a show of hands "who had masturbated" at which point he was met with "nervous giggles".
Brown told the court that Talbot's career in television was a "daily reminder of what he had done to me and the other boys".
The trial is continuing.
