2nd point I think you have got that wrong as well.
Finally what similar cases? Can you provide any examples?

Weiner launched the plot in 2006, hoping to get Mr Thompson sacked from the school in Whitechapel, so that he could be promoted, the Old Bailey heard.

The 10 year maximum sentence for the indecent images and the use of consecutive sentences were taken directly from the CPS website.
No similar cases? You are joking.
The CPS website lists some selected examples for the purpose of sentencing guidelines. The only listed example that comes even close to the length of sentence, is one involving an original crime of murder and intimidation and attempted bribery of a witness, and I would have thought that the bulk of that sentence was for the intimidation and attempted bribery part.
