A sex scandal involving a 32-year-old female teacher allegedly preying on school boys at Bishops Diocesan College in Rondebosch has escalated into a full-blown investigation.
It is understood the woman, who has been married for a year, had possibly sexually abused a number of pupils over the past six years.
The woman is a history teacher from a prominent Bishops teaching family and it’s believed she has since resigned and fled the country.
She allegedly sent boys selfies where she is wearing skimpy lace panties, as well as videos of her masturbating on a bed.
The school said on Thursday the teacher, who was also the sports/water polo coach, resigned following the disclosure that she had an inappropriate sexual relationship with an 18-year-old matric pupil who cannot be named.
Principal Guy Pearson said in several emails over the weekend that it appears that the woman, whose uncle is a Springbok rugby icon, has been involved in numerous other relationships with different boys.
“You will be aware that one of our female teachers has been involved in inappropriate sexual behaviour with some of our boys,” read the mail after the story broke in the Weekend Argus on Saturday.
“The teacher has left the school with immediate effect.”
A parent close to the matric boy who blew the whistle on the teacher said the relationship began as a consensual one, reports the Weekend Argus.
“He was a willing participant in the beginning. But it got to the stage where he had enough and the teacher would not let him go and he went to his parents for help and they went to the headmaster.”
