'Predator' teacher sent inappropriate messages to students on Snapchat

Teaching Council inquiry heard accused told one of the girls she was a 'little ride' and sent a part-topless photo to another

The teacher sent Snapchat requests to several teenager students.

A teacher accused of engaging in inappropriate contact on social media with several young girls from a secondary school where he had worked has been described as a “predator” by the mother of one of the students.

The claim was made at an inquiry by the Teaching Council into the conduct of a male teacher in his mid-20s who is accused of seven counts of professional misconduct and breaching the Code of Professional Conduct for Teachers.
