Full Description

Gilles Brown, 32, a former secondary school teacher in Edinburgh, was convicted for sending explicit and vile videos of himself to former pupils, constituting indecent communication and potential grooming offences. The actions breached professional boundaries and exploited his past authority over the young recipients.

The UK Sex Offenders Database records this as a case of digital sexual misconduct by an educator, with Brown using social media to distribute the material post-employment. Police Scotland traced the communications, identifying patterns of unwanted contact that alarmed the ex-pupils. The investigation emphasised the risks of technology in facilitating such abuses.

Brown faced a custodial sentence, as the court addressed the erosion of trust in educational roles. This incident reinforces protocols for monitoring former teachers and protecting young people from online predation.
