Holy gracious smokes...

I don't believe this deserves a whole ban and shame...
The person is 69, I read... He has possibly been a teacher for like... decades...

It's a grown up man who sure knows what he does, and these searches for "thongs" may be whatever. What if he searched for these to show someone else how it's wrong to expose yourself to the Internet?
What if these searches have nothing to do with anything sorrowful as child-abuse but just some non-serious searches that depend on some actually adequate context?

What if he was framed even by some student, for a "joke" or to skip an exam?

There's a whole government-level paper published for it even:
- https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/teacher-misconduct-panel-outcome-mr-james-hindson

Is that how they protect their teachers against possible mockery and framing?
Though, I appreciate everyone involved who worked on this case. It shows a serious attitude.

Yet, if he actually is a corrupt person, then it's deserved and should be worse, but... if not... So many dear years, reputation, trust... to be ruined in a fudging 3 rows of a search history?
