Teacher ‘groomed’ vulnerable schoolboys with lewd text messages

A SECONDARY school teacher who “groomed” two vulnerable schoolboys by sending the pair up to 1,500 lewd text messages before indecently assaulting both of them was jailed for four years yesterday.

History teacher Wasim Majid was convicted last month of two charges of indecency with a child and two counts of indecent assault relating to two incidents one between January and March 2002 and one between April and June 2002.

He was cleared of one charge of rape between January and March, but found guilty on an alternative, third count of indecent assault.
