Former NI pupil awarded £50k over 'degrading' video
A former pupil of Methodist College Belfast was left "traumatised" after "degrading" videos were recorded of him on a school rugby trip.
Gabriel McConkey, now 19, has been awarded more than £50,000 in a civil case after the school admitted liability in relation to negligence and failure to supervise.
He was in lower sixth and on a trip to Portugal when older pupils forced him and others to run naked around the resort they were staying in.
BBC News NI has contacted the school for comment.
It is his case that they then used the video to coerce him into having his head shaved.
He was also forced to witness other boys as they were coerced into performing a sexual act on a sex toy.
His mother, Sian Mawhinney, told BBC News NI that her son was "absolutely broken" when he returned from the trip in December 2022.
