'Sex-pest' struck off teachers' roll

A KwaZulu-Natal teacher who allegedly sexually abused female pupils has been struck off the teachers' roll - and will probably not be allowed back in a classroom anywhere in the world.
Current Font Size:

The man, whose identity cannot be revealed because his trial has not been concluded, was last year found guilty of "gross sexual abuse" by the SA Council of Educators.

He taught at Umlazi's Makhumbuza High School.

He was suspended along with four other teachers in April after an investigation by the council into allegations that the teachers were sexually exploiting pupils.

Select Committee on EMR sex scandal presents report to House of Assembly

"From the evidence, therefore, there were two complaints from two separate persons. The first occurring in 2007 when it appears the complainant might still have been a student at that school and the second in September 2008 by a former student. In both instances no action was taken against the teacher who was allowed to remain and continue teaching at that school."

Editorial: Tell public why allegation wasn't reported

AN INVESTIGATION into why authorities weren’t notified of an allegation that a Causey Middle School teacher had exposed himself in front of a student is not only appropriate, it’s overdue.


Charles Milton Lewis Jr., Causey’s teacher of the year in the 2008-09 school year, was arrested Jan. 4, after an accident in Baldwin County, on a charge of driving under the influence.


Then, on Jan. 12, he was arrested again on charges of sexual abuse of a child under age 12 and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Baldwin County authorities said a 9-year-old boy acquainted with Mr. Lewis overheard his mother talking about the drunken-driving arrest, and told her about an alleged incident of sexual abuse at Mr. Lewis’ Summerdale home last summer.

Govt agencies 'dropped the ball' in sex abuse case

A near total breakdown in communication, procedure and protocols throughout several government agencies, might have allowed a suspected child molester to leave the jurisdiction without being brought to justice, according to the findings of a committee to investigate alleged cases of sexual abuse at the Eight Mile Rock High School (EMR).

The final report of the committee was presented and tabled in the House of Assembly by Committee Chairman and Englerston MP Glenys Hanna-Martin yesterday. Hanna- Martin said that one of the most disturbing things the committee discovered through research and public hearings, was that "teachers, administrators and staff were all aware of allegations and failed to report it."

Those allegations were reportedly leveled against former EMR art teacher Andre Birbal by several male students, long before he was arrested and questioned in connection with the alleged molestation of one of his former male students last year.

Girl testifies in teacher sex case

As trial began Tuesday for West High School teacher Jose Bernardo Fanjul, his defense team portrayed him as a passionate and caring teacher who only tried to help the troubled 16-year-old student who is now accusing him of initiating an illegal sexual relationship.

"If any lines were crossed, a student-teacher relationship crossed into a friendship," Ann Marie Taliaferro told 3rd District Judge Ann Boyden, who is hearing the case instead of a jury. "But being a friend and helping a student does not mean a sexual relationship was occurring."

But during nearly three hours of testimony, the girl in question recounted in graphic detail having almost daily sexual encounters with the 46-year-old teacher last year.

She said they had sexual contact in his classroom, in the school elevator, at his home and while watching a movie at a downtown theater.

The defense claims there is no proof of the girl's allegations and they are expected to attack her credibility today during cross-examination.

Prosecutors, however, placed into evidence a number of gifts Fanjul allegedly gave the girl, including a ring, a T-shirt sprayed with his cologne and two music CDs he burned for her. The girl said Fanjul also gave her a dildo.

A former elementary school teacher who spent six months in jail for having sex with a 13-year-old student was arrested again, this time for violating probation by apparently communicating with the victim.

Pamela Rogers, 28, was arrested Tuesday and released on $10,000 bond. A judge Wednesday ordered her to appear at a July 12 hearing.

Last August, Rogers reached a plea deal to serve nine months on an eight-year sentence, allowing her to avoid a trial on 28 charges of sexual battery and statutory rape. She was released from jail in February for good behavior.

Under terms of the plea deal, she was, among other things, ordered not to contact the victim or his family and not to use the Internet.

Authorities said she violated probation by establishing a Web site through the online social networking hub MySpace.com. The site features a blog that included what authorities said was communication between Rogers and the victim's 17-year-old sister.

Rogers is also accused of issuing a cryptic message to the victim through the Web site by addressing his basketball jersey number, saying he was her hero and that she would not fall in love again for three years.

Teacher accused of sex with boy, 13

Some parents describe Claymont Elementary School teacher Rachel L. Holt as a hip, caring teacher who took a personal interest in her students and their education.

But one father thought Holt's interest in his 13-year-old son was a little too intense.

After overhearing a flurry of telephone calls last week between Holt and his son, the boy's father went to police Monday to report that his son was "having inappropriate contact with his teacher."

ABCs of a sex scandal

Sharp rise in teachers preying on city's kids.

Stripping down to a bra, miniskirt and crotchless panties, 30-year-old Bronx teacher Albania Abreu allegedly gave one of her GED students a lap dance - as a "Christmas present."
Angelique Jarnes, 33, shaped young minds at Long Island City High School in Queens until she was accused of having weekly sex with one of her students - while also allegedly sleeping with the boy's older brother.

On a football field in Staten Island, Curtis High School music teacher Louis Mannarino, 42, allegedly took the virginity of a high school senior, then professed he was "falling in love" with her. The girl later wore a wire to catch him discussing his tangles with two other girls.

It's a problem of "epidemic proportions," according to Terri Miller of Stop Educator Sexual Abuse, Misconduct and Exploitation.

CASTLE ROCK, Colo. -- A former social studies teacher at Ponderosa High School in Parker was sentenced to two years in prison and 10 years in a sexual offender probation program for having an affair with a teenage student.

She would also allow him to "monitor" her class, instead of going to his other classes, and then would go into the school's computer system to change his "unexcused" absences for his other classes to "excused," prosecutors said. This was "a sign of grooming" -- a signal of sex abuse, prosecutors said.
