A British dance teacher shot dead by his son-in-law , who was also his former lover , may have molested at least four boys while running a dance school in Suffolk , it has emerged . Police have investigated four alleged victims who say they were abused in the 1980s and 1990s by Scott Rogers , who was killed in the US after becoming a local television celebrity there . Three of the men claiming that Rogers attacked them have only come forward after he was shot dead in August by Mathew Hodgkinson , who also killed himself . Investigation : Scott Rogers is accused of molesting at least four young boys while living in Britain . Rogers - known as Richard Scott-Rogers when he lived in Britain - was charged with abusing the other boy more than 20 years ago , but was cleared in 1993 after a trial . Before he moved to the US , Rogers founded the Academy of Dancing and Performing Arts in Bury St Edmunds , which was described as a 'supposedly religious cult ' by the local council . Rogers allegedly held 'sleepovers ' with young students , where he would 'cuddle them in their sleeping bags ' , according to parents . He then moved to Baton Rouge , Louisiana , where he hosted a weekend morning TV show called Around Town , making him a minor celebrity in the area . But in August last year , Rogers , 52 , was murdered by Mathew Hodgkinson , a former lover of his who had married his daughter Kimmy as part of an immigration scam . School : Rogers founded the Academy of Dancing and Performing Arts in Bury St Edmunds , Suffolk in 1983 . Hodgkinson , 36 , then turned the gun on himself , and died in hospital eight days later . After Rogers ' death , Suffolk Police appealed for any victims to come forward , and were contacted by three men who said they were abused at the dance school in Bury St Edmunds . Killer : Rogers was shot dead in August by his son-in-law and ex-lover Mathew Hodgkinson , pictured . The force , working with officers from the Metropolitan Police 's Operation Yewtree , recorded their claims and referred them to specialist agencies which support child abuse victims . However , they will not be able to take any further action because Rogers ' death means the investigation has now been closed . A Suffolk Police crime report uncovered by a MailOnline freedom of information request said : 'Three new victims of child abuse reported to the Suffolk police sexual abuse by Richard Scott-Rogers . 'These historic incidents were recorded as notifiable crimes . Police provided support to these victims . There are no further lines of enquiry to complete in relation to the investigation with no other parties involvement . 'Given the suspect had died these crimes are therefore finalised in accordance with Home Office crime recording outcomes . ' The three new victims brings the total number of British complainants to four , including the boy who made the original abuse claims in the 1990s . Following Rogers ' death , it emerged that the authorities had recently taken away his adopted 10-year-old son and two-year-old foster son after finding out about his past . He was due to give evidence to a grand jury on the day he was killed , after police discovered that he had lied on the forms he used to apply to become a foster parent . Note : Hodgkinson left this note after killing Rogers and then shooting himself . Hodgkinson wrote an apparent suicide note found in the home he shared with his wife and father-in-law , saying : 'They broke our happy loving home . They do not get to take Scott too . ' Soon after Rogers was killed , two anonymous British men appeared on a radio show and accused him of molesting them when they were young boys . One of the alleged victims , who said he met Rogers at the dance academy , claimed to have been abused from the age of 13 . It is not known whether the men who made those claims are the same as the complainants who have contacted the police .
