I don't believe they gave the names of any of the children involved, therefore their
privacy isn't affected. Bear in mind that these children are now adults.
As far as gratuitous details, I think the seriuousness of the allegations requires
them. There are different levels of child abuse etc. While most of us think it is
ridiculous if a teacher is prosecuted for, say, innocently swiping a child for
misbehaving or in a moment of frustration using bad language in front of children, the
law (and some members of society) disagree. It wasn't that many years ago when a child
could be called up in fron of the class, made to drop his or her pants and whipped or
beaten on their behind. If you did this now, it would be clearly illegal (here at any
rate). The actions this man is accused of are much more serious than the (still
despicable) crimes such as sexually touching or engaging in cunnilingus on a student
in private, which are more common.
