An incident at a Fife school which resulted in three secondary pupils being charged with alleged public indecency offences is still “a live matter,” according to the school’s rector.
Fife Police were called to Bell Baxter High School in Cupar in November after an allegation the pupils, aged 16, had uploaded indecent images of themselves to social networking site Facebook.
At the time, rector Philip Black described the situation as “very serious”.
The matter was referred to the procurator fiscal for reports to be prepared.
However, The Courier can reveal the case is now being dealt with by the Young Offenders Management Group (YOMG).
The case has been handled by Fife Police, Fife Council’s social work and education services and the YOMG.
Mr Black would not comment on the specifics of the case but said: “I can confirm that this is still a live matter. The procurator fiscal has decided that this case is best dealt with through YOMG.”
A Fife Police spokesman said: “The procurator fiscal referred the case to the Young Offenders Management Group (YOMG) and Fife Council’s social work department are now addressing the offence and this offending behaviour.’’
There are approximately 200 16-year-old pupils at Bell Baxter High.
