Elliot Millar's 'cruel bullying' behaviour and assault were uncovered by a BBC Panorama investigation.
A sports coach at a special needs school who put pupils in headlocks has been jailed for his "cruel bullying" after the abuse was uncovered by a BBC Panorama investigation.
He was sentenced to 12 weeks behind bars at Liverpool Magistrates' Court after pleading guilty to assaulting three pupils. "One can only speculate if that investigation had not occurred whether the behaviour demonstrated in this case may well have carried on unabated."The footage showing Millar drawing on the boy's face was played to the court and a woman, described as management, was seen to walk past.
"You were clearly in a position of trust. One case involved you drawing a penis onto the face of a pupil.He put two pupils into headlocks and also feigned a punch and kick at one of them, the court heard.In a statement, the family of one of the three boys assaulted by Millar said: "Even though he was mistreated badly, he thought it was the norm."
