Banned, teacher in false paedo claim

A TEACHER who posed as a 14-year-old female pupil to falsely accuse a colleague of being a paedophile has been banned from the classroom for life.

Sheena Boll, 36, was convicted of sending malicious communications in January 2017 for the call to Childline, in which she accused the innocent man of sexual assault. She was jailed for 11 weeks, suspended for two years.

Boll was a teacher at the Lister Community School in Newham, east London.

At a private hearing yesterday, she admitted the conviction to the Teaching Regulation Authority and was banned for life.
