Ex-supply teacher charged with upskirting children in schools

  • Abusali Rahman, a former supply teacher from Salford, has been charged with multiple child sex offences, including upskirting and voyeurism.
  • The 36-year-old was arrested in June 2025 after a parent reported an image of their child in school uniform being circulated online, prompting an upskirting investigation.
  • Thirteen girls aged between 13 and 16 have been identified as alleged victims across seven high schools in Bury, Bolton, and Salford, with efforts ongoing to identify four more.
  • Rahman faces 13 counts of voyeurism, 13 counts of making indecent images of children, and one count of distributing indecent images of children.
  • He has been remanded in custody after appearing at Wigan Magistrates’ Court in April 2026 and is scheduled to appear at Bolton Crown Court in May 2026.
