Choirmaster jailed for abusing pupil at prestigious music school Brewer's former wife, Kay, 68, was jailed for 21 months after she was convicted at the same trial of indecently assaulting Mrs Andrade when she was 18. Brewer, from Birmingham, was convicted of five counts of indecently assaulting Mrs Andrade when she was 14 and 15 years' old. The abuse took place in his office and in his camper van, which he used to drive her out of the school grounds and get her to perform oral sex on him. He was cleared of raping Mrs Andrade when she was 18 at his then home in Chorlton, Manchester. Mrs Brewer's assault on her was on the same night. Sentencing Brewer, who was Director of Music at the school, Judge Martin Rudland told Manchester Crown Court that the teacher had used his "powerful position" to groom Mrs Andrade. "You have had an impressive career but that is now at an end," he said. Sadly there is another side to you and it is this. You were, and you may still be, a predatory sex offender. Of that let no-one be in any doubt. He said Mrs Andrade, from Guilford, Surrey, did not have the strength to resist Brewer "because her abiding desire was to be cared for and cherished by a loving family to which she craved to belong." He added: "She was prepared to submit to almost to anything, which clearly she did, as you pushed the boundaries further and further - treating her as your sexual plaything in the context of a false loving relationship which she readily accepted." He said it was "surprising" that all those who spoke "so well" of him at his trial in his defence did so in the knowledge of the affair which ended his Chetham's career. He added: "Perhaps one of the few positive features to have emerged from this case is the resulting close scrutiny of the seemingly wider acceptance of this type of behaviour among those who should know better." Brewer was ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life.
