A supply teacher has been sentenced to six years for taking over 100 upskirt photographs of pupils.

Abusali Rahman, 37, a supply teacher who worked at seven schools across Greater Manchester, has been sentenced to six years in prison for taking more than 100 upskirting photographs of pupils.

The Daily Mail reports that Rahman used a mobile phone concealed in his pocket to capture images of at least 15 girls aged between 13 and 16 over an 18-month period. He worked at schools in Bury, Bolton and Salford. The outlet says he posted the images on an account on X, formerly Twitter, with 1,000 followers.

According to the Daily Mail, the offences came to light when a mother noticed an image of her daughter's friend in school uniform on the social media site and raised the alarm with police. Officers traced the photographs to Rahman. When interviewed by detectives, he initially replied 'no comment' when asked about the images on his mobile phone.

The schools and parents of the victims have been informed. The Daily Mail reports that officers were unable to establish the identities of three girls whose images were found.
