DVLA's 'phone sex video' inquiry

The clips were said to have been downloaded to a mobile

A woman has been suspended over claims that mobile phone clips of her having sex were seen by hundreds of colleagues.

The Swansea-based Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) worker was said to have downloaded clips to her mobile phone and sent the footage to friends.

Within hours, the clips were said to have been sent to 300 fellow workers.

The DVLA said a "junior employee" was suspended amid an inquiry into "alleged circulation of unacceptable material."

Nobody could quite believe what they were seeing

DVLA worker, quoted anonymously

The woman, reported to be in her twenties, has been told to stay at home until the investigation is completed.

More than 6,000 people work for the DVLA, most of them based in a 20-storey building in the Morriston area of Swansea.

Many are said to have viewed the clips by the time managers stepped in.

"Nobody could quite believe what they were seeing," the South Wales Evening Post quoted one worker.

"The pictures appeared to show her and her partner making love," the anonymous worker told the newspaper.

"They went from one camera phone to the next. I think at least 300 or so people had it on their mobile phones by the time it was stopped.

"Everyone was passing on the pictures."

A DVLA spokeswoman said: "A junior DVLA employee is currently under suspension pending the outcome of an internal investigation into the alleged circulation of unacceptable material."

The centre processes driving licences for the UK and is one of the biggest employers in the region.

Concern over spread of slap craze

The "happy slapping" attack in Ramsgate is the latest in the craze

A new trend of violent assaults, in which teenagers attack unsuspecting bystanders and capture it on mobile phones, has spread to Kent.

"Happy slapping" first began as a craze in south London, but has now become a nationwide phenomenon, according to police and anti-bullying organisations.

Footage passed to the BBC showed an assault at a Ramsgate skateboard park.

A school in Tonbridge has also warned that a boy's hearing has been damaged.

Parents with children at The Judd School have been urged to monitor the situation and were told the trend was "most unpleasant and hurtful".

Assaults are videoed on mobile phones and texted to other people

Videos of the slaps are sent to other mobile phones and posted on the internet.

Nicola Kerr, who works for the children's charity Kidscape, said the trend was difficult to control in schools because pupils were not leaving their video phones at home.

"Some schools have tried getting the children to hand their phones into their form teachers at the beginning of each day," she said.

Police in Kent say they have not received any complaints about "happy slapping" so far, but an incident at a Leatherhead school in Surrey last month prompted police to make an arrest and issue a warning.

In London, British Transport Police have investigated 200 incidents in the past six months.

Reported incidents have included a youth approaching a woman at a bus stop and punching her in the face.

A conviction for assault could lead to up to five years in jail.

Pupils warned over slapping craze
A craze for "happy slapping", where youngsters use video phones to film themselves slapping other children around the face, has led to warnings. Surrey Police said on Monday they were to make an arrest after an incident at a Leatherhead school where an 11-year-old was slapped. Officers said it was the second incident at one school in a month. Youth Affairs officer, Pc Penny Goodale, said that it was cowardly, childish and criminal behaviour. "There is absolutely nothing 'happy' about this violence," she said. 'Expect stern action' "Surrey Police will treat any reported incidents very seriously. "The actions of these youths can be very upsetting for the victims and I can assure the offenders that we will take swift action against them. "These are assaults and they will be dealt with as such." She said that officers were working closely with schools to deal with offenders, who could expect a stern response. She said the nationwide craze had so far led to only a few reported incidents in the Mole Valley area.
