Ex-teacher who sexually abused pupils is jailed for four years

Adam Gutteridge Adam Gutteridge

A FORMER Dorset teacher who went on to star in a national TV advertising campaign has been jailed for four years for sexually abusing three teenage pupils.

Adam Gutteridge was handed the term this morning at Bournemouth Crown Court.

He had previously pleaded guilty to 10 sex assault charges involving three girls at his former school.

The 38-year-old, of Earlsfield Road, London, was a maths teacher at Highcliffe School near Christchurch before moving to London and starring in a high-profile TV advert.

He worked at the school between September 1, 2002, and August 31, 2007, before his change of career.

Gutteridge also pleaded not guilty to one count of sexual activity with a child, which, at an earlier hearing, prosecutor Kerry Maylin said the crown would take no further action over.

Too many people have said how great a teacher he was, but I don't care how good he was as a teacher, he abused his position of trust and deseves every one of those years inside and more, preying on teenage girls like that. No doubt some will seek to blame the girls and suggest they threw themselves at him, but even if that were true, and I don't believe it to be, he should have known better than to give in to his vile, paedophillic urges. Disgusting man.

Filthy disgusting little man who I hope has a suitably torrid time in jail. Scum like Gutteridge should be neutered. I have two bricks handy to carry out the job if required, no need for any expensive anaesthetics though ok.

As the Police say, sexual assaults usually happen by people the victim knows, e.g. a teacher, relation or friend. Stranger assaults are very rare.

No mention if he is subject to a SOPO or how long he got on the SO Register.
