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.
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 – .
Jennifer Fisher said she’ll “never forgive” her son, adding: "He’s brought shame on the family.
"From today I only have two sons, not three."
The shamed teacher's death is not being treated as suspicious.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: "At around 3.50pm on Thursday 4 July, police were advised the body of a 29-year-old man had been found in a property on Main Street, Ayr.
"The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal."
A spokesman for the Crown Office added: “The Procurator Fiscal has received a report in connection with the death of a 29-year-old man in Ayr on 4 July, 2019.
“The investigation into the death, under the direction of Scottish Fatalities Investigation Unit (SFIU), is ongoing.
“The family will continue to be kept updated in relation to any significant developments.”
