A Scots primary school teacher who hit a female with a belt and poured cleaning fluids over her believes he is still fit to teach.
Charles Tighe, who taught at Beckford Primary School in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, was convicted in 2019 of assaulting three separate females between 2007 and 2018.
On various occasions between January 2007 and December 2014, the 51-year-old assaulted one victim by pushing her against a wall, throwing her to the floor and emptying a linen basket over her.
