Paedo teacher, 29, who boasted to his teen victim ‘I’m like Jimmy Savile’ kills himself before sentencing
A SHAMED teacher who repeatedly had sex with a pupil has killed himself weeks before being sentenced.
Ryan Fisher preyed on the 14-year-old girl when she studied at his school in Ayrshire.
The 29-year-old was found guilty at Ayr Sheriff Court of bedding the pupil after a week-long trial.
Jurors took less than half an hour to return the majority guilty verdict on June 3.
Fisher, on bail, was set to be sentenced this month after Sheriff Desmond Leslie warned he could face jail time.
But his body was discovered by cops at a flat in Ayr on Thursday.
It comes after his trial heard how he joked in text messages with the youngster .
Asked what she thought he meant, his victim told Ayr Sheriff Court: “Saying he’s like a paedophile”.
He also admitted sending her messages about taking the contraceptive pill before meeting him.
During the trial, it was also revealed Fisher – who admitted having a live-in girlfriend with whom he had a child – .
The 29-year-old had as many as 20 trysts with the pupil in his motor after she sneaked out of her house.
