New Zealand: Teacher disciplined for sexual misconduct with student

Story here. Excerpt:

'The Teachers' Council's complaints assessment committee charged the teacher with serious misconduct over an inappropriate relationship with a Year 13 student from the unnamed school.

The New Zealand Teacher's Disciplinary Tribunal's agreed statement of facts detailed that after recently separating from her husband, the teacher invited the student to live with her, knowing that he was to be a pupil at the school she taught at.

The teacher also communicated with the students in an inappropriate manner by discussing personal matters with them and making statements to the effect of "oh I love you and care about you and I'll see you after school", the decision said.

She hugged and kissed him and once suggested a threesome with him and another boy while they were in her bedroom.
...
The tribunal said she had in effect, been suspended from teaching from May 2010, in excess of three years.

The suspension of her practising certificate ended on October 30 this year.

Conditions have been imposed on her practising certificate, including a mandatory supervision and guidance programme at any school or education institution which employs her in the future.'
