'Pressurised'

William Whillock was the vice-principal and child protection officer at the school and in his mid-50s at the time.

"He was like a father figure to me," the victim said. "He always said that if there were any problems, 'Just give me a call.'

"When I was at school I used to go to his office and talk to him about problems at home. As the relationship built up, things just got worse."

Mr Whillock would call and text her late at night requesting naked images.

On one occasion, she provided a photo of her genitals and said: "Here's wat u ordered."

Mr Whillock replied: "That's so lovely. Meanwhile you can use your imagination to send me some more when you want."

After she sent another picture of herself topless, he texted back: "mmmmm x".

Speaking to the BBC, she said: "I used to feel that I was pressurised into sending them. I used to think to myself, just forget about it, it's nothing."

During a year 18 text messages were exchanged. Twenty photographs were sent to Mr Whillock, 12 of which featured the victim either topless, in her underwear or naked in the bath and three were even more graphic.
Although he told her to delete the photographs and texts, her phone was discovered by another teacher at the school.
