A BLAENAU Ffestiniog teacher has appeared before magistrates to face charges of possessing extreme porn and indecent images of children.

Dyfan Wheldon-Williams, 42, a teacher at Blaenau Ffestiniog, faces five offences involving 40 indecent images of youngsters, and extreme porn.

His brother, Dr Robyn Wheldon-Williams, 39, a chemistry teacher at a Caernarfon secondary school, also faces eight allegations involving 1,400 images.
