Sedbergh housemaster denies sexual interest in feet
A housemaster accused of assaulting two pupils while they lay in bed has told Carlisle Crown Court he has no sexual interest in feet and was only checking on the youngsters' welfare.
Christopher Griffin, 58, is alleged to have stroked the feet of two teenagers at Sedbergh School for sexual gratification on various dates
in 2015 and 2016. He denies five charges.
Today Mr Griffin, who now lives in Ingleton, North Yorkshire, said one complainant was "difficult" and he added he had to check on his presence: "I have just shaken his feet to see if he was there."
He said the second complainant had been ill: "I quietly spoke to him, I didn't get a
response. I needed to find out if he was still alive so I shook his feet."
The trial continues.

Runner dies during Loughrigg Fell Race
A runner, aged 37 and from Cumbria, collapsed and died on a fell face near Ambleside last night.
It happened during the annual Loughrigg Fell Race, a four-mile run organised by the Ambleside Athletic Club from Rothay Park, in Ambleside, to the top of a local fell.
Other competitors, some with medical training, and members of the Langdale Ambleside Rescue Team tried unsuccessfully to revive the man. He was declared dead by a member of the team that arrived from the Great North Air Ambulance.
Organiser Ben Abdelnour said the runner had collapsed on the open fell rather than on the steep ascent from the village. He added his thoughts were with the man's family and friends.

Football club fears for future as flood drainage repairs fail
John Bowness
BBC Radio Cumbria reporter
A football club in the Eden Valley fears its future may be in doubt because its home pitch can't be used.
BBCCopyright: BBC
Appleby Football Club's ground was repaired following damage caused by Storm Desmond, but a pitch inspection last week ruled it unsafe to play on.
The club will now have to play the season's remaining matches in Penrith, while Eden Council arranges more repairs.
The council says the arrangement is temporary and it hopes the work will give Appleby a better quality pitch for next season.
Squirrel charity appeals for funds
A charity that protects red squirrels in north Cumbria says its work is under threat because of financial problems.
Penrith and District Red Squirrel Group is one of a number of organisations around Cumbria set up to preserve the native red, which is threatened because grey squirrels, which were imported from the USA, out-compete the smaller British species and carry a virus against which it has no defence.
PACopyright: PA
The group says it spends £100,000 a year employing five rangers who monitor squirrel numbers, feed the reds and control the greys.
It adds red squirrel numbers are increasing in areas around the town, but without the work of the rangers they'd probably disappear.

Flood evacuees 'forced back too early'
Sara Dumbell
Journalist, BBC Radio Cumbria
Hundreds of flood victims are back at home but living without things as basic as a toilet or a kitchen, according to a flood recovery group.
BBCCopyright: BBC
It's nearly 18 months since the floods swamped Jackson Street. The water has long since receded, but at least one resident there says she's gone back to a home without a working bathroom.
Official figures say 95% of families have moved back into their properties.
But Paul Hendy from the Carlisle Flood Recovery Centre says at least one in 10 of them may have been forced back too soon because of insurance money coming to an end or substandard rental homes.

Windermere sailors question use of lake mooring buoys
Concerns are being raised about how safe it is for longer boats to be moored on some parts of Windermere.

South Lakeland Council says it's responding to demand by allowing vessels as long as 14m (45ft) to use the lake's swinging moorings, such as those pictured, where boats tie on to buoys anchored to the lakebed.
But the Windermere Lake User Forum says it's been told by the council that the swinging moorings are only strong enough to hold smaller boats.
A report going to a meeting tomorrow says there are just under 4,000 powered vessels registered to use the lake, and there's been a sharp increase in the number of boats being launched from the Ferry Nab public slipway.
