Holy shit, that is one of the most insane stories I've ever heard of. How was this not made into a prominent national news story? How have tons of school administrators not wound up in prison??

It was national news when it happened if I recall. It wasn't like 20pt font on the nytimes home page, but it was reported.

I remember it being all over the news up in Canada. It must have made national news in America too?

I know I remember at the time talking to a couple of friends who are school governors in the uk.

Overhear both the Head and It guy responsible would have been fired and be on the "not allowed to work with kids and vulnerable people" list for the rest of their lives. They would have been lucky not to get prosecuted for child porn as well
