Lanarkshire teacher accused of touching schoolboys and giving them porn faces being struck off

A teacher accused of abusing two boys at an East Kilbride school faces being stuck off.

The unnamed man's two alleged victims, Pupil A was aged between 11 and 14 years old and Pupil B between 12 and 13 years old.

The teacher appeared before the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTC Scotland) yesterday to assess his fitness to teach. He faces another hearing on Monday, August 8.

The full list of allegations are stated in GTC Scotland hearing documents released this week.

Alleged abuse against Pupil A took place on various occasions between August 1, 1994 and February 1997.

It's claimed the accused made vile sexual remarks at the boy such as, 'have you and your friends ever compared d**k sizes?' and “have you got a hard-on yet?” or words to that effect.

It is also claimed the educator exposed his private parts in the boy's presence and touched him inappropriately.

Other allegations including the teacher gifting the pupil clothing, DVDs and alcohol as well as pornographic material.

He also bought the boy a gym membership and took him to the gym.

Further allegations include giving the schoolboy massages in his bedroom at his home and giving him a box of condoms.

Meanwhile, it's claimed Pupil B was subjected to sexual abuse over 15 years later - between August 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014.

The teacher allegedly told Pupil B he loved him, touched his private parts, allowed him to stay at his home and paid for his haircut.

In light of the allegations it is alleged that he is unfit to teach as a result of breaching the GTC Scotland’s code of professionalism and conduct.

The hearings will take place virtually.
