Married teacher, 34, found guilty of having affairs with pupils

A MARRIED science teacher was yesterday found guilty of eight counts of abusing his position of trust by having affairs with schoolgirls he taught.

Steven Edwards, 34, was convicted of having affairs with three pupils aged between 14 and 16 over a four-year period at the East Yorkshire school where he taught.

Two charges relating to a fourth schoolgirl will be left to lie on file after the jury at Hull Crown Court failed to reach verdicts.
