Teacher bought an ex students only fans?

Agree with a PP - this should be reported, it needs to be considered as a potential LADO issue and school would also consider from a professional conduct perspective. Please ignore those suggesting it's a breach of GDPR - in this context that is just not true.

If she is on onlyfans, surely she is opening herself up (literally 🤣) for any old perve to peruse her content.
Is she really in a position to take the moral high ground because a teacher is one of her viewers?

It's sordid either way. As a PP said though,would he recognise her? He would have seen her maybe 4 years ago and she would look a bit different now.Also he's not a very good teacher if she ended up o Only Fans!

I think the key piece of information is, is she using her real name? If not, he may not have a clue who she is other than an attractive young female.

I wouldn't have thought he'd even know he taught her. One subject, probably a year group of 200ish. 4 years ago. Who can remember that many kids?

She's an adult selling porn. He's an adult buying porn. I don't see the issue. If it makes her uncomfortable she can block him surely?

Teacher code of conduct normally states a two year margin, so he is double the time he is required to wait before having contact outside of school

I wouldn't.

Also, how do you really know he signed up for her only fans. Maybe she just told you that as a bit of a "joke".

Thank goodness @CountFucula - I was starting to get really concerned that so many people don't seem to understand what's wrong with this!

PPs are right. Don’t get swayed by either judgement of your friend or comments that it’s not illegal. It’s against the teacher standards and a safeguarding concern. The safeguards are there for a reason - I would 100% report to the school.

Teachers are not allowed to seek out former pupils online. The problem is with him, not her.

So your friend set up an OF to make money from creepy guys looking at her, and now she's creeped out that creepy guys are looking at her?

This.

Gross of both of them

He has done something wrong, very wrong. Teachers have safeguarding responsibilities and one of them is not to seek out ex-pupils online. It's a really important one in the age of social media - imagine the opportunity for predators otherwise to have access to their former students immediately after they leave. Imagine your sixteen year old being followed online (obviously not on OnlyFans!) by a male teacher as soon as her GCSEs are finished - just a 'friendly chat', all the tricks groomers use to manipulate and it leads to exploitation. There have to be policies in place to prevent this. There is a power imbalance and there is a duty of care. This man isn't even disguising his sexual intent. Only four years have elapsed. He needs to be reported - he is in breach of teaching standards and safeguarding responsibilities.

Whilst it's grim he legally hasn't done anything wrong. If your friend is taking the fee I presume that's sweetening the shock.

OP, lots of people have answered who don't understand teachers' safeguarding responsibilities, please do not listen to anyone saying 'it's not illegal' - maybe not, but it is a breach of professional standards and so unacceptable anyway. In all the teaching posts I have held, it's been a school policy that teachers do not have any social media contact with students for a minimum of five years after the students leave the school. That's normal social media - OnlyFans is a whole other level.

The school absolutely need to know about this; it is serious, it is creepy and your gut instincts are not wrong. He has sought out a former pupil for sexual gratification. It's not acceptable and if the school has robust safeguarding policies they absolutely will act.

Who says he even knows it’s an ex pupil.?

the only offence here is eye GDPR breach.

Grim
but why waste anyone’s time reporting what can be practically done can think of any laws been broken

and as others said she shouldn’t be sharing details of who subscribes

It's creepy but I would imagine most people paying to view only fans are creepy. He's not breaking any laws.

Absolutely. Why is he looking up ex students.

Indeed. She either wants men to pay or she doesn’t, vile either way.

GDPR. Your friend could be in a lot of trouble if you report this. He's not done anything wrong legally. She's 22 and selling herself and he's buying.

Dumb question but is it obvious it's her? I assume she doesn't go by her real name. He probably recognizes her but with makeup/hair color and cut is it possible she looks quite different?

Might be the least of her problems but OP and others are concerned about the problems this “fan” might have caused for other people, especially children at his school.

I would not report it because I don’t think he’s doing anything illegal or anything that contravenes safeguarding.

Wanking over images/videos that an adult has made for that purpose is not criminal. It may very well be creepy and gross, but seriously, what kind of men does she think wank over her content? Lovely ones? No. Creepy ones? Yes.

There‘s also no indication that he is any sort of paedophile. She is an adult, so it’s presumably adult women that excite him, not children.

unfortunately, being creepy is not a crime.

She's selling, he's buying. No-one is glowing here, but no laws broken - shame him means to shame her.
Icky all round.
