Teacher arrested after allegedly having sex with student in her car

A married teacher has been arrested after allegedly having sex with a student in her car.

PE teacher Tayla Brailey, 30, from Australia, was arrested on Tuesday (August 6) and charged with sexual intercourse with a child under her authority, sexually touching a person aged between 17 and 18 and aggravated sexual assault of a child under her authority.

Brailey, who was recently married, was arrested at the Lurnea High School in Sydney, where she reportedly broke down crying, as per court documents.

“I am going to jail, aren’t I? I’m going to lose my family, my husband, my job," she allegedly said, The New York Post reports.

According to police, Brailey sent videos to the student, aged 17, of herself masturbating.

The boy had allegedly added Brailey on Snapchat and the pair began exchanging messages, as per the outlet.

Although the content was said to be non-sexual at first, it's reported that Brailey later started sending nude photos.

It's also alleged that the pair had sex in Brailey's car after she contacted the boy while at school and told him she was free for an hour.

The teacher then reportedly purchased the morning-after emergency contraception pill after the sexual encounter, police claim.

“The accused [allegedly] sent a number of photographs and videos of herself both naked and while she was masturbating herself,” police facts obtained by the Daily Telegraph say.

“The victim also returned a number of photographs and videos of himself.”

The boy allegedly told police that he felt he had to send Brailey photos to 'keep her happy'.

It's reported that contact between them then ended until Brailey allegedly messaged the boy to ask if he had told anyone - which the teen allegedly denied doing so.

After her arrest, Brailey was held in custody overnight before being granted conditional bail, where she has been given special conditions.

She is under strict house arrest and cannot leave without her parents, enter school grounds or log on to social media. She must also report to police three times a week.

Prosecutors have said the case is strong due to the fact Brailey had made admissions and evidence had been taken from the pair's phones.

“This is a strong case,” said Magistrate Imad Abdul-Karim. “If convicted, it is inevitable that she would serve a full-time custody.”

Meanwhile, her lawyer Patrick Schmidt said: "We're going to wait until we get the brief of evidence.

“At the moment we need to get those instructions. She’s been in custody and we’ve only had minimal contact with her.”

A Department for Education spokesperson said: “The safety and welfare of students are our highest priorities.

“The department has strong policies and procedures in place to ensure their care and protection and to act when employees are alleged to have engaged in misconduct.”
