Teacher struck off for posing as teenager to falsely accuse former headteacher of being a paedophile
Eleri Edwards, 32, pretended to be a 13-year-old girl on Childline ten times
to claim that she was a young pupil sexually abused by the school's head
By Agency: A sacked woman teacher was struck off on
Friday for posing as a 13-year-old girl on Childline ten times to
falsely accuse her former headteacher of being a paedophile.
Vengeful Eleri Edwards, 32, made ten separate false allegations to the
NSPCC-run child protection charity that she was a young pupil sexually
abused by the school's head.
A
disciplinary hearing was told veteran head Tudur Williams was
"devastated" when Edwards made the bogus claims to Childline after she
was dismissed from his school.
Maths teacher Edwards told Childline she was a schoolgirl who had been
"inappropriately touched" by the head in the string of false claims to
the charity website.
Innocent Mr Williams was interviewed by police - but their investigation led to officers believing the report was a hoax.
