flag An Irish teacher in his 50s was permanently banned from teaching after admitting to sex with a 16-year-old student, deemed "incredibly serious" by the High Court.

flag A teacher in his 50s in Ireland has been permanently removed from the teaching register after admitting to having sex with a 16-year-old student below the age of consent. flag The incident occurred at a property where the teacher was staying, and the student was reportedly intoxicated. flag Though the teacher claimed the contact was consensual, the Teaching Council found professional misconduct based on his voluntary admission during a Garda interview. flag No criminal charges were filed for this incident due to the victim’s denial, and separate charges were dropped by prosecutors. flag The High Court upheld a 30-year ban, calling the conduct “incredibly serious” and noting the teacher showed little remorse and viewed himself as a victim. flag The teacher cannot be named to protect the student’s identity.
