A PRIMARY school caretaker has been charged with making indecent images of a child.

Adrian Peter Ryal, a caretaker at Richmond Church of England Primary School, in Richmond, North Yorkshire, will appear in court next month charged with four sexual offences.

He faces one charge of making an indecent photograph or a pseudo photograph of a child. He has also been charged with three counts of sexual assault against a female.

Mr Ryal, 41, of Sutton Avenue, Catterick Garrison, pleaded not guilty to two of the sexual assault charges at an earlier hearing.

North Yorkshire County Council said the caretaker had been suspending pending the outcome of the case.

The primary school has told parents that the allegations do not relate to a child attending their school.

Mr Ryal is due to appear at Teesside Crown Court in Middlesbrough on April 24.
