John Field, 66, a former primary school teacher, is banned from teaching for life after being convicted in connection with child sexual abuse material offences. According to reports, Field downloaded indecent images of children from the dark web. Prosecutors say the images involved children as young as five.
One account states that Field told police he had been viewing sexual images of children for around five years. The reporting also describes that he searched using internet terms linked to “teens” and “jailbait” while looking for such material.
Both outlets describe the conviction and the lifetime teaching ban, framing the case around Field’s access and viewing of illegal images and the length of time involved. The reports do not provide additional detail about sentencing beyond the lifetime prohibition from teaching, nor do they specify dates of the searches or the exact court proceedings in the text provided.
