A former UK school official was found guilty of misconduct for sending sexual messages to a former student.
David Egford是康沃尔Laenceston学院前助理校长和校长,在2024年1月向一名前学生发送性指控信息后,被教管局判定犯有不可接受的职业行为罪。
David Egford, a former assistant principal and safeguarding lead at Launceston College in Cornwall, was found guilty of unacceptable professional conduct by the Teaching Regulation Agency after sending sexually charged messages to a former student in January 2024.
在Egford被要求帮助寻找工作时开始的交换包括一些不适当的评论,例如让学生多穿些衣服,承认他喜欢她脱衣服的想法。
The exchange, which began when Egford was asked to help with job searching, included inappropriate comments such as telling the student to wear more clothes and admitting he had liked the idea of her being undressed.
虽然Egford声称这些讯息是「笨拙的笑话」, 并否认性意图, 但TRA认为他的行为违反了职业界限,
Though Egford claimed the messages were "clumsy jokes" and denied sexual intent, the TRA concluded his conduct breached professional boundaries, upheld his dismissal, and ruled it constituted serious misconduct.
该案强调了在教育工作者和前学生之间保持明确的专业限制的重要性。
