Acting head court case - what do others think

The court case involving the acting head has been in and out of this article several times. It was at first uncited and rightly removed, but then reinstated with what appears to be a reliable source from a news outlet. It's more recently been removed again by User:Josefdp13 with the edit summary "Incorrect information", which doesn't really get us anywhere.

I'm not particularly committed to whether this paragraph is in or out. I'm just rather suspicious of what might perhaps be a couple of new editors who might perhaps have COI or GREATWRONGS issues or other forms of axes to grind, and I would not like to see anyone using the article as a battleground. I wondered what other editors thought? Best wishes to all, DBaK (talk) 11:15, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Note: I have sought comment on the general principle (currency, news scandal etc) at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Schools and on this specific instance at Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Help. DBaK (talk) 11:33, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

• I would think we would probably not want this in the article. This is not an 'in school' occurence as much as one would like to use Wikipedia to expose it. As an encyclopedia we should be writing about the school and not about what its staff or pupils do that is not directly concerned with the school itself. The only connections in this case are that a school was the man's workplace and a 'child' was involved. The offense, the result of a sting operation, did not take place at the school and the 'child' was not one of its pupils. IMO, keep scandals for the newspapers bearing in mind WP:NOTNEWS .

• Understanding the way that the CRB system works in the UK, where charges thrown out by the court are on a still recorded on the teacher CRB record preventing the innocent from ever working again, and understanding how innocent actions are technically offences- and pleading guilty to a lesser charge (whether fictitious or actual) will remove the pressure on the teachers family, then understanding how an over-pressured social services child protection team will trawl the internet for any mention of a misdeed (whether it happened or not) I would also like to see this discussion removed from the database too. This is an extreme case of WP:BLP. ClemRutter (talk) 18:11, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

• Remove--Per Kudpung. I fail to see any necessity of even discussing this.Winged Blades ^Godric 14:11, 13 September 2017 (UTC) Winged Blades ^Godric 14:11, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
