Teacher Denies Sex Allegations, Claims Pupil Lied to Look Cool
A PE teacher, Bronwen James, 30, denies four charges of sexual activity with a 16-year-old pupil from Bitterne Park School in 2022, telling Winchester Crown Court she believes the pupil exaggerated the claims to look cool with friends. She admits the pupil visited her home briefly and that she accepted a Snapchat contact, but maintains there was no sexual contact. Prosecutors say the allegations include grooming; the boy’s evidence and phone records are contested, and the trial continues.
