A [Canadian] [teacher] who, while teaching in [Surrey], [England], at the age of 26, had [sex] with at least one of her [teenage] [student]s -- "at least one" because she claimed she can't remember whether she had sex with a 15-year-old boy, but remembered a 16-year-old well enough to admit to that instance.

Gehring was charged with [indecent assault]. The case brought to light a certain amount of [sexism]: some called it "a [schoolboy]'s dream" (and, frankly, I had [Hot for Teacher|such dreams] as a schoolboy), while prosecuting attorneys asked whether anyone would say similar things were the sexes of [teacher] and [student] reversed.

Gehring had been investigated in 2000 on essentially the same basis, but denied it all around and was allowed to return to the [classroom].

She will not be teaching anytime soon, however, as the [Ontario College of Teachers] has begun disciplinary proceedings and yanked her permit pending the results.
