A religious education teacher sacked for possessing indecent images of children should be allowed to return to work in schools, a panel has ruled.

Geoffrey Bettley, 36, was suspended from a West Yorkshire school in December 2010 after police found nearly 200 child abuse images on his computer.

He accepted a police caution and was dismissed by the school.

A professional conduct panel has now ruled the teacher does not "represent a risk to children or young people".

WTF?
Not that any school in their right mind would hire him when they saw that on his CRB check, but the very fact that he's allowed to teach again just astonishes me.
I sure as hell wouldn't send my two sons to a school if I knew a teacher there had been convicted of child sex offences.

There may be things that we have not heard that might have allowed this man to teach again.

Agreed. Why did he just get a caution? Part of the story is missing here.

Had somebody else downloaded the images? How many normal pr0n pictures did he have?

I had a friend and he'd just scrape news groups for images and bulk download them, given the number he'd download each day, I doubt he ever looked at them all and it wouldn't surprise me, if somebody cross-posted "unsuitable" images into groups that had nothing to do with children.

Are you a pedophile, if somebody cross-posts an image into banging-grannies?

I'd like to know why he wasn't charged and why he was cleared by the panel. That is the key here and it isn't reported, just the shock horror that he can teach again. If he was innocent, why should it be a shock that he can teach again?
