A 'despicable' maths teacher who took photos of young girls' underwear while they wore skirts in his classroom has been jailed for 19 months.
Lee Dixon, 30, was caught by another pupil hiding a mobile phone camera beneath his desk at a school in Cumbernauld, Scotland.
The crimes, which took place in March 2023, involved Dixon first filming a 12-year-old girl before then targeting a 15-year-old in another class, secretly filming her underwear on two occasions, the Daily Record reports.
Airdrie Sheriff Court heard police were called in when a classmate of the older girl spotted the phone, prompting officers to find the incriminating footage.
Passing sentence, Sheriff Derek Livingston said: 'The horror those girls must have felt when this was discovered can only be imagined.'
