A married teacher had an affair with an ex- pupil and pressured her to ‘get him lots of drugs’.
Robin Kyne, now 54, was a married drama teacher and later assistant principal, at the then Regent College from 2004 to 2010. During this time he made contact with a pupil he later had a relationship with when she left the school.
When Kyne was working for Leicester City Council in 2019 a pupil came forward about the relationship that took place in 2007.
After she left college messages between them “very quickly became graphic and sexual in nature”, LeicestershireLive reported.
It became physical in September 2007 and a month later they had sex for the first time.
As well as that, Kyne ‘asked and/or pressured’ the pupil into buying and transporting drugs for him. He threatened to cancel on her or break up with her if she didn’t.
During his time at the college, when she was a student, the inappropriate behaviour began during drama lessons.
Kyne took pupils’ phone numbers claiming he wanted to contact them about homework. But she said that whilst he did not text regularly, it was never about homework.
