What on earth went through his head when he decided to do this?! The poor woman has taken all her social networks down out of humiliation I presume. link

Crazy.

Some of us don't have social networks

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 23/09/2012 20:01

Back to the Op though. Hope she is ok, devastating to find out your dh is a peadophile

edam · 23/09/2012 20:02

Quite right, Scottish, it's just bizarre that someone who seemed normal could behave like this.

chris481 · 23/09/2012 20:09

Surely he's an idiot (i.e. in love) rather than a calculating predator. It's not like there's any chance he's not going to regret this.

FreudiansGoldSlipper · 23/09/2012 20:13

Oh of course he fell for her charms silly man those young girls can be quite persuasive

cheekybarsteward · 23/09/2012 20:13

Social network thing still bothering me and no reply Hmm

Narked · 23/09/2012 20:13

'in love'?

With a 15 year old pupil.

Who he's taken out of the country?

Righhht.

BurlingtonBertieFromBow · 23/09/2012 20:14

cheeky I saw on another article that the wife had taken down her FB etc. think it was the Daily Mail

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 23/09/2012 20:14

I realise my iPad spelled paedophile wrong btw

And yes, he is a paedophile, if he is having sex with her

He may end up the Chief Inspector of Schools. Didn't Chris Woodhead have an affair with a pupil, alledgedly ?

We had a very good looking English teacher in (guessing) his late 20s, who flirted shamelessly with the sixth form girls. In retrospect a bit creepy but at the time I thought it was all harmless fun and his shameless exploitation of his personal charms was just his way of getting us to work hard for him and improve his average grades.

But at the end of the last term he ran off to Australia with one of my class, so it seems it wasn't just a game after all. His wife seemed really nice Sad.

Fucking SILLY?

Silly is getting tipsy and tripping over the cat and landing in a puddle. NOT the manipulation of a 15 year old girl.

He is disgusting. I hope they throw the book at him.

Schrodingershamster · 23/09/2012 20:38

It happened at my school as well. Alledgedly anyway. Teacher in question was sacked.

GoldShip · 23/09/2012 20:40

Is he out of his tiny mind?

In what universe would it ever work?!!

Poor wife, poor girl, poor family.

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 23/09/2012 20:44

It happened at my school as well - teacher in his mid 50s, young lad of 14 who had a very unhappy home life. Teacher was imprisoned, god knows what happened to the young boy.

FreudiansGoldSlipper · 23/09/2012 20:44

MrsUsainBolt if that was aimed at me read my previous posts.

I have just remembered the very nice teacher that had a few girls babysitting for him two of these girls were in care, how nice of him giving these vulnerable girls that extra bit of care they needed.

He suddenly dissapeared after a visit from the police

ShotgunNotDoingThePans · 23/09/2012 20:49

At my old school (33 years since I left), there was a group of male teachers who were all good mates.
One of them ended up living with an 18 yo former pupil he'd been teaching since she was 11.
Another was form teacher from y7-11 to a girl who had an affair with another (married) teacher in 6th form, and later ended up marrying the form teacher subsequent to his divorce (she trained as a teacher after uni).
Yet another divorced his wife to marry a former pupil he'd taught from the age of 11. (He used to do a weird flirty thing in school, as well, and was fond of taking groups of girls on ski holidays).

Several scandals at my DCs' last school over the years - one culprit in particular is very senior and is known to have been involved with several pupils in the past.

Writing it down, it's unbelievably shocking.

GoldShip · 23/09/2012 20:56

Shotgun that's horrible!!!

One of my teachers apparently was texting a student. Rumours only. He was weird though. Used to ask me did I want to skip maths and go sit in his class....

SuperB0F · 23/09/2012 20:58

He must know he will be going to prison. I hope it doesn't flip him into doing something even worse. Her parents must be worried SICK.

scottishmummy · 23/09/2012 20:59

the minimizing words are outrageous-"silly,in love"
no he's a manipulative older man
he used his status,authority,to procure an inappropriate relationship with minor

DogsCock · 23/09/2012 21:19

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 23/09/2012 21:30

freudian not aimed at you - third or fourth post on the thread 'what a silly man' fgs

timetoask · 23/09/2012 21:32

Stupid man! Has thrown down the drain his life, his family his job. She is just a young girl that will hopefully soon realise this is just a teenage fling, big mistake.
