‘Flirty’ PE Teacher Told 16-Year-Old Pupil She Loved Him, Court Hears

Prosecutors say Bronwen James used her position of trust to groom a 16-year-old pupil, with jurors hearing allegations of sex and Snapchat messages.

  • Bronwen James, 30-year-old former PE teacher, stands trial at Winchester Crown Court facing four charges of sexual activity with a 16-year-old pupil, which she denies.
  • Prosecutor Edward Culver alleged James exploited her position of trust after initiating a "flirtatious" relationship via Snapchat, then drove the student to her home after meeting him at Weston Shore.
  • The teenager described the relationship as a "teenage dream" at the time, alleging James watched Wimbledon with him and asked him to call her "Miss" during their encounters.
  • Text messages identifying the boy as "Number 8" led school staff to discover the relationship after another student shared them with a teacher, prompting the current trial.
  • Originally charged with 13 offences involving three children, James is now defending these four specific counts at Winchester Crown Court, where she maintains her innocence.
