Southampton PE Teacher on Trial Over Alleged Relationship With 16-Year-Old Student
Bronwen James, a 30-year-old PE teacher at Bitterne Park School in Southampton, is accused of having sex with a 16-year-old pupil. Prosecutors say their messages were flirtatious and that they met, kissed, and engaged in sexual activity; James denies the charges. The student says he initially believed the relationship was good but later felt groomed. The case at Winchester Crown Court was paused and adjourned with a new jury expected to be sworn in.
