Cardiff teacher Ieuan Bartlett’s life ban after sex with pupil

The court heard they had sex on a number of occasions, including once at the girl’s home when her parents were away.

Bartlett used a side entrance into her home to avoid being seen by the doorbell camera.

He also had sex with the teenager without a condom.

The teacher told her not to tell anyone about what was happening because he said she could be sent to prison. He also lied about aspects of his personal life in order to win her trust.

His actions were discovered when one of the girl’s friends noticed his messages on her phone. She told her mother, resulting in the police being called.

In a personal impact statement, the girl told the court that her confidence had been knocked and that she struggled because she “believed all men were like Ieuan”.

“I’ve always had issues with my mental health and now it’s worse. I struggle to trust people and believe what they say,” she said.

He is also subject to a restraining order which means he cannot contact the pupil for 15 years.
