Damages in ‘sexting’ case involving ex-vice principal of Princess of Wales's former school

Damages for ‘sexting’ have been awarded for the first time, in a case involving the ex-vice-principal of Diana, Princess of Wales’s former school.

William Whillock, former vice-principal of The New School in West Heath near Sevenoaks, Kent, was handed a three-year community order in 2010 after admitting possessing indecent images of a female teenage pupil who he encouraged to send sexually charged pictures.

Now it has emerged that the victim, who cannot be named, has sued for the harm done, resulting in a judge awarding damages, the BBC reported.
