Teacher enters pleas at Belfast Crown Court
A teacher at a Belfast school is to stand trial later this year for sexual offences she is accused of committing against a male pupil.
She was charged than between March 1 and May 17, 2024 she communicated with a child ‘for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification’. When asked how she pleaded, the defendant replied “not guilty”. It’s the Crown’s case that these charges were committed between March 1 and May 17, 2024. The teacher was then charged with, and entered ‘not guilty’ pleas, to two counts of possessing an indecent image of the teenage pupil on May 17, 2024.
Although no further details about the alleged offending emerged during today’s arraignment, Mr Harvey told a previous court hearing that his client claims she was a victim in the encounters with the teenager.
