A court room in Manchester today was surprised to see none other than Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown giving evidence against his former school teacher Fred Talbot, who taught him biology the 70s.
Testifying as part of a case to bring Talbot’s alleged seedy past to justice, Brown walked into the court room and told the jury how the sex offender had “..showed me a film. It was years before I realised it had been wrong to show us that film. It was a three minute film on Super 8 projector and a young guy walks into a room dressed in denims, sits on the bed, takes his trousers down and masturbates. It was only a few years later I realised it was perhaps a gay porn film. It wasn’t a sex education film.”
Brown’s involvement in this case sees him give evidence only and is not a victim of the alleged indecent assaults on boys carried out on children aged as young as 14 at Altrincham Grammar School for Boys School in Cheshire in the late 60s and 70s.
