A paedophile primary school teacher who fled Victoria after he was caught has been jailed. Peter Jeffrey Farmer, 66, pleaded guilty earlier this year to 10 sexual assault and gross indecency charges, 30 years after his crimes. The charges related to offending between 1986 and 1988. Judge Geoffrey Chettle on Tuesday sentenced Farmer to six-and-a-half years in prison, with a four-and-a-half-year non-parole period.
