Instructor Banned From Teaching After Alleged Mile-High Tryst With Teenage Student

A 28-year-old physics instructor was fired and is now banned from the profession after an inappropriate lavatory encounter with a pupil was revealed in the course of a blackmail attempt.

A private academy instructor lost her job last year and has now lost her license to teach after a disciplinary board heard evidence that she had sexual relations with a male student under her charge during an international flight returning to the UK from a school trip abroad. A teenage pupil told the professional conduct panel that he and his teacher, 28-year-old Eleanor Wilson, engaged in unprotected sex in the lavatory of a commercial aircraft during the journey home from the class trip to Geneva, Switzerland. The teenager testified that both he and Wilson were intoxicated at the time of the risky airplane bathroom liaison.

According to The Telegraph, the inappropriate student/teacher relationship came to light when another student attempted to blackmail the physics instructor. The teenage blackmailer allegedly threatened to expose the teacher’s mile-high encounter with her student unless she agreed to have sex with him as well. The schoolboy extortionist made good on his threat, eventually alerting school officials and law enforcement to the relationship which had reportedly continued long after the initial mid-flight rendezvous.

While the disciplinary panel elected to make its ruling public, intentionally outing the teacher involved, the members decided not to identify the students caught up in the whole affair. The student who claims to have been sexually involved with his teacher was known only as “Pupil A,” while the student who blew the lid off the taboo relationship was referred to simply as “Pupil C.”

“Pupil A gave evidence that he and Miss Wilson entered the toilet, kissed and had oral sex and intercourse without using protection,” the panel wrote in its ruling. “Miss Wilson denied this allegation in its entirety, as evidenced within the notes of the school’s investigation. The panel considered all of the evidence, and after hearing his oral evidence and having the opportunity to test it, preferred the evidence of Pupil A.”

A school newspaper unearthed by The Telegraph, quoted the now-disgraced teacher, prior to the sex scandal, speaking about the educational value of the school-sponsored trip abroad. “The trip will provide a real source of inspiration for our young people as they continue with their studies and think about their future career paths,” she explained. No mention was made at all of the unique learning experience said to have been provided during the rather eventful flight home.

This is tangentially an airline story, but okay. To me, two people should be in trouble. The teacher, for what she did, but also the third student, who attempted what basically amounts to blackmail in order to rape someone. I find it troubling that the third student is facing no consequences for that. I certainly wouldn't want them anywhere near anyone I cared about. Regards, -Bouncer-
