Sally-Anne Bowen, 65, is on trial at Harrow Crown Court accused of eight counts of indecent assault against two boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons. She was told Bowen no longer worked at the school, but “wasn’t given any explanation as to why that was”, Ms Wolfe said. Bowen told the boy she was moving to Israel to stay in a kibbutz, leaving him “completely lost” and “heartbroken”, she added. On several occasions, Ms Wolfe added, the “besotted” boy walked the teacher home and the two kissed before parting ways. “She was a teacher, entrusted with the care and welfare of pupils, and the prosecution say she abused that trust for her own sexual gratification.”
