Overview
- A Teaching Regulation Agency panel found Leanne Wilson breached professional standards after admitting she ran an adults-only account under an alias.
- The decision-maker accepted the panel’s recommendation against a prohibition order, saying publication of findings was sufficient to uphold standards.
- A colleague uncovered an Instagram profile for “Sophie Palmer” in May 2023 that linked to OnlyFans and referenced a “secondary school teacher,” leading to the referral.
- The account advertised sexually explicit services, including sending underwear and offering to rate subscribers’ penis sizes, alongside explicit images and videos.
- Esteem Multi-Academy Trust says Wilson was suspended and then dismissed after a 2023 investigation, with the panel noting no evidence that students or parents saw the content.
