Count Carlos Spencer said that he was attacked by a woman who was responsible for his care at a boarding school. He also gave details of the brutal beatings that his teachers gave him.

Count Spencer, maternal uncle of Princes William - heir to the British throne - and Harry, says that he only realized that the woman was a pedophile when she underwent psychological treatment years later. Carlos says that by revealing abuse - common in decades past in the UK's exclusive boarding schools - he wants to shed light on "how things were too often" in private schools.
