Voyeurism teacher: Pupils allegedly filmed at school | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
Children have allegedly been secretly filmed at a Cardiff school whose deputy head teacher has admitted filming children using a toilet elsewhere. | |
Parents of some pupils at Ysgol Gyfun Glantaf are seeking legal advice. | |
Police have been carrying out further investigations at the school as Gareth Williams awaits sentence. | |
A letter from head teacher Alun Davies told parents the school would "continue to co-operate with the authorities and assist them in every way they can". | |
Mr Davies said the deputy head remained suspended while the investigation continues. | |
Phillip Gower, a partner at Simpson Millar Solicitors in Cardiff, said he would look into the matter after being contacted by a "number" of concerned parents whose children go to the school in Llandaff North. | |
He said: "Parents have been in touch about concerns they have about the ongoing police investigation - parents don't know what's happening and it's part of the worry and concern. | |
"From our point of view it's very early days. There is an ongoing criminal investigation and we are all going to have and wait and see. | |
"They said they are anxious about the outstanding police investigation - their main concern is to know whether the children have been involved. " | |
Last month suspended deputy head teacher Gareth Williams, of Rhiwbina, pleaded guilty to three charges of voyeurism at a separate location. | Last month suspended deputy head teacher Gareth Williams, of Rhiwbina, pleaded guilty to three charges of voyeurism at a separate location. |
