A COLLEGE in northwest England has cancelled a popular photography course after claims that a lecturer allowed a student to posed for pornographic pictures. Stockton and Billingham College of Further Education says it has no intention at present to reintroduce its City and Guilds advanced photography course after claims that course tutor Dennis Dunning had allowed his class to take pornographic pictures of mature student Julie Clayton. Police carried out searches at both Mr Dunning and Ms Clayton's homes following a complaint. Photographs, including one showing Ms Clayton mimicking the famous Christine Keeler semi-nude pose on a chair, were found. Neither she nor Mr Dunning is charged with any offence.

After all the years since this story was published I feel that this should now be removed from your site. The closure of this story was not published. As the photography tutor named I would respectfully request that you remove this article. It’s now almost 30 years since this article was published. I was able to rebuild my career and this article still hurts. Please remove this article. Thank you.
