INTERNET MARKETING

I did not know where to direct this question, and I am hoping some of warriors can help.

Friend of mine works as administrator in Selwyn House School. If you do google search on these 3 words selwyn house school, on right side it will show map and some basic info about school. However google attached photo of one of former teachers who was convicted for some sexual/porn crime with link to article about crime.
Very bad publicity for a school.
Is there any fast way to have this photo and link removed or replaced?
There is link for FEEDBACK and that will give option to WRONG photo and link. I am guessing, if enough people click on WRONG eventually google will remove it.
Is that right way to go, and if anyone know how long would take?
Any other suggestions ? Any halp is appreciated.

  Threats work great I find.
  
  If they call your bluff you might need something more concrete.
  
  Follow these guidlines:
  Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Requesting removal of content from our index (scroll down or CTRL F "Requesting removal of content you don't own")
  
  This may be helpful too: Request removal of Google-hosted content (YouTube, Blogger, etc.) for legal reasons - Webmaster Tools Help
  
  Otherwise there are "legal" companies that you can pay a few G's too that will have the content removed for you (...and by that I mean they will send a few letters with no guarantee).
  
  Good luck.
  
  Thanks

Just checked...do not see it either...I actually work at a school in central NY that had a similar case and now his picture is buried farther down the page. The more someone writes a blog article tagging or linking back to the school with positive info the better.

Also correctly labeling photos of this school helps to build a positive force which takes over the bad content over time.
