Teacher faces being struck off after ‘grabbing younger colleague by testicles and ripping open his shirt’
The younger man says Helen Evans, 48, left him feeling 'intimidated' by the 'sexually motivated' lunge at a disciplinary hearing
A TEACHER could be struck off for grabbing a colleague by his testicles after ripping open his shirt.
Helen Evans, 48, left the younger man feeling “intimidated” by the “sexually motivated” lunge.
He told a disciplinary hearing: “I was completely shocked. Out of the blue Miss Evans strode up to me, faced me, with one hand ripped open my shirt and got underneath and grabbed my testicles. I made a noise and she rushed away.”
He added: “She had never approached me in a sexual way before. My guess is it was more exerting control over another colleague.” He quit after the 2013 incident at a parent-teacher fundraiser at Llanishen Fach Primary School in Cardiff.
The incident was referred to police but the Crown Prosecution Service did not take it further and it was dealt with by the school.
Educating Workforce Council presenting officer Hannah Eales added: “Miss Evans confirmed the incident happened, describing it as part of a much wider group of silly behaviour.”
Miss Evans is also accused of taking a snake to school, calling senior staff “dumb and dumber” and marking books with phrases such as “wicked dude” and “love it babes”.
She faces eight allegations including behaving unacceptably to colleagues.
Miss Evans won a case for wrongful dismissal but could be banned by the professional body. The hearing continues.
