Headteacher who asked more than 100 boys for naked pictures on Facebook claimed he'd been hacked

A headteacher asked more than 100 boys for naked pictures on Facebook. Nick Clayton from Holyake sent creepy messages to boys as young as 10 while working as the head of a British international school in Iraq.

Holyake's campaign of grooming came to an end when police arrested him at an airport where he claimed he was hacked. Holyake was sentenced yesterday at Liverpool Crown Court, where it was revealed that the 38-year-old contacted the profiles of 131 boys - mostly based in South Asia - over a three month period in 2017.
