A FORMER PE teacher has been jailed for sexually assaulting pupils in his care – one of whom was a Redditch schoolgirl.
Richard Maycock, from Swanage Green, Walsgrave, was sentenced to two and a half years behind bars at Coventry Crown Court on Friday (November 27) for sexually assaulting a then 15-year-old girl in Coventry in 2013.
He also pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to two counts of sexual activity with the Redditch schoolgirl and abuse of trust.
The 43-year-old, who will placed on the Sex Offenders Register, initially denied abusing the girl when he was a teacher.
The former Redditch pupil told officers he abused her between 2005 and 2006.
Detective Constable Sarah Rose said Maycock used his position as a teacher to abuse the girls’ trust.
