'I'M JUST A SCALLY,' SAID SEX PEST BOSS

When one woman confronted him, he told her : “I’m just a scally from Liverpool.”

Thomas Starkey, 57, was suspended for two years by the General Social Care Council after being found guilty of 15 misconduct charges.

The married father-of-two made sexual advances for 11 years.

He propositioned one woman on a work trip to Ireland, asking her: “Your hotel room or mine?”

Another woman he met at hotels for sex asked in advance which knickers she should wear.

Starkey was social work director at Clifford House, a private care home provider for children in Herefordshire.

He helped to shape national policy on child care as a member of the Children’s Workforce Development Council.
