A former teacher and dean of a private school in Geneva has been convicted of exchanging messages of a sexual nature with a student who was 15 years old at the time.
He’s been sentenced to a 15 year suspended prison sentence and banned from working with children for the rest of his life.
But he’s appealing, and the ban won’t come into force until after the appeal. He remains working.
