TEACHER’S SEX WITH GIRL PUPIL,17, IN HER MUM’S BED

DIFFICULTIES: Richard Shore ( and his wife Cerys A NEWLYWED wife found her cheating teacher husband having sex at their home with a girl pupil he took on a school trip to California.

Richard Shore, 30, was struck off after his wife told education chiefs how he confessed to the affair with the 17-year-old after classes.

Computer sciences master Shore had denied to police and education officials that he had sex with the sixth-former after the school trip to the US.

But wife Cerys, 28, gave key evidence to a disciplinary hearing how he admitted having the extra-marital affair with the teenager during a row.

The hearing was told Shore – married for just a year – took the schoolgirl to their marital home for sex “five or six” times while his wife was out at work for the BBC.

Presenting officer Carys Williams told the hearing: “When they returned from the trip to California their contact escalated by way of texts and it led to a full romantic and intimate relationship.

“It was an inappropriate relationship and it is clear that the actions of Mr Shore were sexually motivated.”

Their romance began when the pair went jogging together in California on the £700 school trip from Radyr Comprehensive School in Cardiff, South Wales.

The teacher began texting the girl, using a code name in his text messages to her to try to hide his five-month affair.

Miss Williams said that Shore’s wife Cerys made a statement to the investigators how she confronted him at their home in Cardiff Bay.

She added: “She said her husband had confessed he had had sex with the girl. She said their marriage had been in difficulties.”

Social worker Theresa Derbeyshire told the hearing: “The girl said sex took place at his house and her mother’s house. The relationship was physical and sexual.”

BBC marketing worker Cerys and Shore lived in a waterside apartment in Cardiff Bay and the hearing was told he had taken the girl there and she had showered.

Shore was later arrested and interviewed by police.

He admitted to police that he had invited the girl into his home five or six times and allowed her to use his shower.

But the hearing was told he denied having sex and the Crown Prosecution Service took no further action.

The Education Workforce Council hearing in Cardiff was told Shore was a suspended by the school before resigning.

Mr Shore was accused of seven cases of “inappropriate” behaviour with the girl.

He was found to be unfit to practice by the disciplinary hearing because his actions were “sexually motivated.”

The Fitness to Practise Committee indefinitely removed Mr Shore from the teaching register and also decided he cannot reapply for five years.
