Due to the boy’s age, and a reporting restriction set to be placed on the case, we are prevented from naming the defendant or including any details, such as his address or the school where the alleged offending took place, that could lead to his identification.

A spokesman for the school in question said: “As legal process is currently ongoing it would not be appropriate for the academy to provide any detail other than to say that the student has since been dealt with in line with our behavioural and safeguarding policies. The safety and wellbeing of all our students is our number one priority.”
