A former maths teacher groomed one of his pupils by offering her McDonald's meals, cigarettes, and car rides before sexually assaulting her.
Richard Chipchase, who was convicted of four counts of sexual activity with a child in 2021, even locked the schoolgirl in a storeroom when she refused to hug him, a court previously heard.
He was jailed for 27 months but served half of that time and has now been released, a recent teacher misconduct panel hearing was told. He has since been banned from teaching indefinitely.
