The former boss of the government’s turnaround academy trust has been charged with historic child sex offences.
Gareth Mason left his role as chief executive of the Falcon Education Academies Trust in October 2020.
At the time, the trust refused to comment on the reason for his departure. Mason was on secondment from the Delta Academies Trust.
In a statement this week, West Yorkshire Police said Mason, 52, of Meynell Road in Leeds, had been charged with indecent assault and attempting to commit an act of gross indecency.
