A former English teacher at a public school in Kent who touched pupils’ legs and instructed them to sing inappropriate song lyrics to him has blamed his Italian heritage on making him “tactile”, a panel heard.
James Coltella had instructed students at Tonbridge School to sing sections of the song ‘Marvin Gaye’ by Charlie Puth, with lyrics including “”king size to ourselves” and “it’s a Karma Sutra show and tell”.
