A paedophile teacher and rugby coach who took 'upskirt' photos of schoolgirls and stored extreme pornography on his laptop has been banned from working in schools for life.

It ruled that the paedophile had a 'lack of apparent remorse' and 'considered that the risk of repetition was high'. 'I accept that you have portrayed a great deal of shame around your behaviour but you clearly did not want to associate yourself with the images offences. Lees is prohibited from teaching indefinitely and cannot teach in any school, sixth form college, relevant youth accommodation or children’s home in England.
