A 26-year-old teacher Kelly Burgess, from Newport, south Wales, has been charged with a series of sexual offences against a teenage boy.
She faces four allegations of sexual activity with a boy aged between 13 and 17. The 26-year-old has been suspended from her post at a school in North Somerset and is due to appear in court next month.
The alleged incidents cover a period between January and late August last year. She is due to appear at North Somerset Magistrates’ Court at Worle on March 17.
The teacher is believed to have got to know the boy after coordinating the school’s successful production of a hit musical. It was staged in front of 600 parents, staff and friends of the school.
