Vetting procedures for adults seeking jobs working with or near children are in place in the Isle of Man, and thoroughly enforced.
That reassurance has come from police involved in the prosecution of 48 year-old Donald Andrew Warren, who was sentenced yesterday to 26 months in jail after being found guilty, earlier this month, of two indecent assaults.
Warren, from Ballaugh, was also placed on the sex offenders register for ten years.
He was employed as an ancillary worker at an Island primary school for two years before his arrest in February 2008. His victim was aged between 6 and 8 at the time the offences were committed.
Detective Sergeant Cathryn Bradley from the Public Protection Unit investigation team says Warren did not slip through the net, as he had no previous convictions and had not come to the attention of police before.
