Teacher bought an ex students only fans?

He's masturbating to an ex-pupil; it's highly likely that the memories of her being his student are heightening the thrill. Eventually this won't be enough for him and he will follow the predictable path that predators take, and it will be a current pupil who becomes a victim.

How’s she a victim, what am I missing? She’s proactively choosing to do a only fans page, he’s entitled to subscribe, he’s not flashing folks?

Report. He's trying to find out how far he can go.....until it's too late for a victim?

Didn't Wayne Couzens - Sarah Everard's rapist murderer - begin by "flashing" and then escalated his behaviour to the most destructive level?

Unless she advertises herself on only fans as Jane Smith class 5a St Mary's class of 2018 then I don't imagine that he has tracked her down

It's likely that he doesn't remember every pupil he's had over the years.

I'm very sorry this happened to you and please don't blame yourself for 'consenting'. The power dynamics in a teacher student relationship don't allow for true consent and I promise it was not your fault.

You might find it too triggering to read, but the novel My Dark Vanessa (based on real life) shows exactly how grooming works and the way it is so insidious and damaging. It is never the victim's fault.

You're under no obligation to report, but if you do the school should take it seriously. If they don't, they are in the wrong. It's your choice, and very understandable if you prefer not to.

Well she might not use her real name but he might have found her another way, perhaps via a link from her mainstream social media - some people do advertise their OF on their 'normal' profiles. She might have been naive or silly or she might be adamant that it's her right to have an OF. I personally don't like it, but I'm not a moral judge of this woman's choices. But it's absolutely the case that any former teacher of hers who looks at it is breaching their professional standards and behaving in a way that compromises their integrity and trustworthiness to do the job. There is plenty of porn online; no one needs to look at an ex-pupil performing it. The fact that he's chosen to subscribe to her account specifically begs the question why.

Surely dirty old perverts are her target clientele?

What do you mean someone bought it. Do you mean she has an only fans page and an ex teacher subscribed? I can’t see how that’s illegal to be honest.

@WhatIfHesWrittenMine interesting - this happened in the last decade. At a private school though and he is a well respected teacher. Everything I’ve read told me there was no point raising it after the fact. I’m not even sure I want to, but I’ve always had a niggle in the back of my head that maybe it would be right to. But I have no interest in dragging up the past or something I consented to.

It’s definitely a GDPR breach in that she has told YOU. It’s quite worrying that she doesn’t understand that. She shouldn’t be telling anyone about her customers.

If she had approached the school with a legitimate concern that might be different but she has told a completely unrelated third party first. You can’t do that.

If she had just left school I’d certainly report. 4 years is a bit of a grey area. He could also easily deny knowing it was a former pupil.

I’d completely stay out of it @ShyPearlMoose as you shouldn’t know about it.

Things have changed a lot in schools in terms of safeguarding and yes, they would care if that happened now.

@WhatIfHesWrittenMine why would she even think to use her real name on an site like this... if that's the case she's probably got more than just the teacher looking at her or 'buying her content'!

It’s unlikely the school would be interested at all. I had a summer fling with one of my old teachers when I was 19 (looking back as an adult, what was I thinking?!) As I’ve gotten older I think about it a lot and particularly think about what was going on at school and whether it constituted grooming but I’ve looked into it and there’s no point reporting. No one would care, sadly.

Yeah it's creepy and says a lot about him but it's not illegal. Reporting may get her in trouble as she's disclosing private information? Sad that that's the case really

Well it’s fucking grim, but if you’re going to get your bits out on the internet, you don’t get to control who looks. It’s empowering, apparently.

Surely she could get into trouble for divulging her clients details. I'd keep out of it, she won't thank you if that blows up.

I'm writing from the perspective of someone who has worked with a teacher who pursued pupils via social media by the way; I know it happens. And surprise surprise, it was the teacher that everyone got creepy vibes from but never did anything about because there was never solid proof - until some teenage girls were victimised by him. Gut instincts are there for a reason. And teachers getting on pupils/ex-pupils' social media is a warning sign.

How about if the policy is five years, like it was in my last two schools?

Of course he doesn't have a list of every pupil he's ever taught. Going on the theory that he's a predator, he no doubt remembers the girls he's attracted to. He could have been looking this young woman up online since she was a pupil, others too. Groomers choose their targets; you can't say someone isn't a predator because they don't go after every single person that falls into their category. So no, I'm sure he hasn't laboriously typed the contents of every register he's taken in the past four years into the OF search bar - but he might have been looking at this young woman, and others in his classes on various social media accounts, for a long time.

I'm not saying that's definitely the case, but his behaviour here raises the suspicion that it could be the case. The OP remembers him being creepy at school. Robust safeguarding means investigating these possibilities. If he is a predator, then at some point masturbating over former pupils won't be enough for him.

I don’t disagree.

I wouldn't want my DC being taught by a man that views women as objects to be bought.

You’re making assumptions though. Obviously, one would need actual proof, which would mean his devices being checked for their search history. But as nothing illegal has taken place, then that’s not going to happen.
It’s pointless getting all worked up about it, because he’s not actually committed a crime, and if the SM policy in his school says no SM contact within 2 years, then he’s not even gone against that, so couldn’t be disciplined in school.
It’s grim all round, but not necessarily a safeguarding matter as such. However, the fact that she has outed her clients is an issue.

If the teacher is buying onlyfans, he has no respect for women and views them as objects, so yes he's failing his female students.

Would a teacher really have a list of ex pupils and search them all on the off chance they were on OF?

That just doesn't sound very likely to me, is there more to this that has led him to be able to make the connection?

Also, she is an adult.

If she doesn't want people looking at her only fans, don't do only fans.

Simple.

Why put intimate footage of yourself on the internet then expect only people you don't know to look at it? If she thinks people are creepy for looking - why the hell is she creating material that attracts creepy blokes?
