A wealthy Scots businessman has been jailed for abuse at a children’s home dating back 70 years.
David Calderhead preyed on boys at Quarriers in Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire, where he was also living at the time, between 1951 and 1961.
One victim was sexually assaulted and threatened with an axe.
Calderhead, now 81 and living in Brighton, left the home and later had a stint in the Army before making his millions.
He was locked up for his part in a London vice ring in the late 70s but went on to forge a lucrative career in entertainment, hospitality and property.
But, at his trial at High Court in Glasgow, his five victims – all pensioners now too – told how they had suffered at his hands.
Calderhead was found guilty of indecently assaulting one boy, and convicted of lewd and libidinous conduct on another three, including assaulting one of them. He was also found guilty of punching another resident.
Calderhead was jailed for three years by judge Sean Murphy QC.
