Teenager took 'upskirt' pictures of two teachers

A teenager who took “upskirt” pictures of two teachers faced them in court as he was ordered to spend 20 hours learning about the impact of what he had done.

Timothy Boomer, who is now a student in Wales, was convicted of five counts of outraging public decency in relation to videos he took as a pupil at a school in Northern Ireland in 2015 and 2016.

A sentencing hearing at Enniskillen youth court saw a panel of magistrates order the 18-year-old to complete an attendance sentence order.

The restorative order will see Boomer spend 20 hours with the Youth Justice Agency focusing on the impact of his actions on the victims.

In March Boomer was found guilty by a panel of magistrates of committing acts of a lewd, obscene, and disgusting nature and outraging public decency by making the covert video recordings.

Victims aged seven to 70 subject to upskirting last year, investigation shows  

The incidents happened at a school in County Fermanagh when he was aged 14 and 15.

The offences came to light when Boomer was 16 and he turned 18 during the legal proceedings.

Boomer sat in front of the two teachers in the public gallery of the court on Tuesday as District Judge Michael Ranaghan outlined the panel’s sentencing decision.

“There are no winners or losers in this case,” he said.
