A TEACHER at Bolton School has been charged with a sex offence against a 16-year-old boy.
Paul Hassall, aged 42, appeared before Oldham Magistrates on Thursday charged with abusing a position of trust through sexual activity with a child.
He is alleged to have committed the offence last year.
The complaint was made on November 25 and Hassall was charged with the offence on Tuesday.
Hassall, of Greenleach Lane, Worsley, has also been charged with one count of possessing indecent photos of children and 16 counts of making indecent photographs of children.
A spokesman for Bolton School said Hassall had been suspending pending the investigation.
