Overview
- On the third day of testimony, a former colleague told the panel Richards shut his office door and played a laptop video that appeared to show him caressing himself.
- The same witness said he previously showed her photos he indicated were of his penis and later demanded, "have I pushed you to your limits yet?"
- Another staff member testified he brought up six or seven penis images on his screen and a large display during a one-to-one meeting before offering an insincere apology.
- Earlier evidence described separate incidents including an alleged clipboard exposure on a school trip, an erect exposure in his office, and a phone image shown to a colleague in 2013.
- Richards was suspended on September 13, 2021, and dismissed in 2024; police did not bring charges after earlier reviews, and all allegations are recorded as denied while he remains absent from the hearing.
