BBC reporting

[Croesy Blue]

I work at a local paper in England. We reported on a case where a teacher took pictures up girls' skirts during exams, but he ended up having a criminal case against him dropped because the current law didn't fit what he did. There is a massive gap in the law and this should fill it.
He got struck off as a teacher, but faced no justice for what he did. Shameful really.

Crazy, he didn’t get any sort of criminal record? Surely he’s a danger to kids if he’s doing that.

Nope. No current law fitted the crime. They tried to prosecute him for making indecent images, but the images weren't, to use a horrible phrase 'indecent enough' for that so the judge had to dismiss the case.
He got no criminal record that would show up on a DBS check, but banned from working as a teacher/teaching assistant was the only punishment.
