[Jonathan Barton, who worked at
Ballet West Scotland in Argyll,
has been accused of abusing his position to sleep
with 16 year-old pupils at the £9,000
a year boarding school his family runs in Taynuilt.
Our investigation has heard from
more than 60 women - former students, staff
and parents - who have
given us their accounts of the
Ballet West teacher’s
inappropriate behaviour going back as
far as 2004 and as recently as 2018.
Many of the former students who told
us about being groomed for an
inappropriate sexual relationship
with Jonathan Barton did so on the
understanding they will remain anonymous,
but they gave us permission to
publish their statements.]
