A SEEDY sir caught zooming in on a schoolgirl’s crotch for his sexual kicks has been booted from the profession.
He was today banned from the teaching profession indefinitely after being found guilty of unacceptable professional conduct. Panel chair Alison Walsh told how one of the girls in the image was wearing a skirt “set well above the knee line”.She said: “Mr Hepworth has been found guilty of using a school computer during working hours for actions motivated by the pursuance of sexual gratification.
“He did not act accordingly for a few seconds but rather for at least two minutes during which time he stared at the image and repeatedly magnified or cropped the image.”The disciplinary panel was told that the image used by Hepworth was of girls at another school in the area at which he used to teach.But Ms Walsh told the hearing in Coventry, West Mids: “We entirely reject Mr Hepworth's suggestion that he was simply ‘playing around’ and was acting in no more than a 'thoughtless’ way.
