Overview
- Merseyside Police seized devices believed to belong to a Meols Cop High School pupil and launched an investigation after finding inappropriate images, including of children.
- The boy was arrested last year on suspicion of possessing an extreme pornographic image, possessing indecent photographs of children, and voyeurism.
- Officers say several girls in the photographs have been identified and their families notified.
- The pupil no longer attends the Southport school, and the headteacher and safeguarding leads recently met a small group of parents and students with police.
- Detectives report extensive ongoing enquiries and partnership support, while the school urges privacy and warns that social media speculation could risk contempt of court.
