Key Points:
- Sally-Anne Bowen, a former teacher at Christ’s College in Finchley, north London, is on trial for eight counts of indecent assault against two boys aged 14-15 in the 1980s, accused of exploiting her position for sexual gratification.
- The prosecution states Bowen engaged in sexual relationships with the boys, including having sex with one boy 20 to 30 times, despite the boys appearing willing, emphasizing that she abused her role as a teacher.
- One boy described feeling special and in love with Bowen, recalling incidents such as her comparing herself to a pornographic image and inviting him to her flat, where they kissed and had sex over several months.
- The second boy reported being pressured into kissing Bowen and touching her breasts, with their interactions often occurring during lunchtimes and walks home.
- Prosecutors argue Bowen crossed professional boundaries by treating the boys as peers rather than vulnerable pupils, abusing the trust placed in her as a teacher; Bowen denies all charges and the trial is ongoing.
