Brit Boy's Teacher Accused of Doing Boys

(Merseyside, England) A 24-year-old teacher at Merchant Taylors' Boys' School, Hannah McIntyre, has been arrested for allegedly engaging in sex with male students.

The classics teacher was arrested and questioned by police last week on suspicion of abusing her position of trust. Social services are also investigating.

She has been granted bail while further inquiries are made.

The alleged sexual activity is said to have taken place away from the premises of the £8,000-a-year school, whose former pupils include ex-Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie.

Although sixth-form students are above the age of consent, it is a criminal offence for teachers to engage in sexual activity with them because of their 'relationship of trust'.

Government guidance also warns teachers that 'intimate or sexual relationships between staff and pupils will be regarded as a grave breach of trust'.

As I understand, sixth form students in Britain are the equivalent of juniors and seniors in American high schools.
