Janey Smith, of Meadow Park, Ayr is facing charges relating to abusive behaviour and sexual harm and two counts of sexual offence charges.

The ex-depute at Girvan Primary School appeared at Ayr Sheriff Court on Wednesday, July 21 in relation to alleged offences dating back to 2014.

Ms Smith, 56, was alleged to have recorded a female over five years in underwear or a bikini at an address in Ayr, between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2019.

Ms Smith is accused of filming sexual activity of another female victim at the same Ayr address on July 3, 2019.
