Mark Haslock from Llandudno who teaches at Ysgol y Grango was cleared of a charge of voyeurism but told he is facing jail
A teacher is facing jail for downloading more than 1,000 indecent images of children.
A jury of seven men and five women at Caernarfon Crown Court found Mark Haslock guilty today of three charges of making indecent photographs of a child, one of possession of an indecent image of a child, and one of taking an indecent image between June 2014 and August 2015.
Haslock, 47, who is the head of design and technology at Ysgol y Grango, Rhosllannerchrugog, near Wrexham was found not guilty of voyeurism between August 1 and August 20 last year.
Police found more than 1,200 such images on two computers seized from his home in Llandudno in August last year.
Addressing the court after the verdicts were given, His Honour Judge Peter Heywood said: “I am not going to proceed to sentence today. I want more information about Mr Haslock. Sentencing will be on January 5.”
The Judge ordered a pre-sentence report from the probation service.
The Judge said: “All sentencing options will be considered by the court including the possibility of an immediate prison sentence.”
Haslock was given bail and a further hearing will be conducted to decide the conditions.
An Ysgol Grango spokeswoman said Haslock’s future was now “a matter for the school governors”.
She added: “Now that the criminal case is concluded we can confirm that internal disciplinary action will be taken against Mr Haslock following our normal policies and procedures.”
