Two students accuse teacher of sexual acts

Tayla Brailey, 30, stood in court on Wednesday flanked by supporters and more than six weeks after police filed new charges.

She was arrested at a school in August after police launched an investigation into allegations that a 17-year-old boy was sexually touched by a teacher.

The Wollongong woman was taken to Liverpool Police Station where she was charged with sexual intercourse with a person aged between 17 and 18 under special care.

She was also charged with sexual touching of a 17- to 18-year-old under special care and aggravated sexual assault.

She was released on bail but was arrested again more than a week later on August 16 and charged with a number of additional offenses in connection with a separate complaint.

Ms Brailey was charged with incitement to commit a criminal offense – sexual intercourse with a cared for person.

She was also charged with sexually touching a person in special care, inciting a person in care to sexually touch, using a transport service to obtain child abuse material, using a transport service to obtain child abuse material and material about Owning or controlling child abuse.

According to court documents, Ms. Brailey is accused of exchanging social media messages with a 16-year-old over a week-long period in July.

She is accused of soliciting and accessing child abuse material via social media between July 8 and July 19.

She is then alleged to have engaged in sexual acts with the same teenager on another day at a school in Sydney's southwest.

She is said to have incited the 16-year-old to sexually touch her and touched her sexually between 3:20 and 3:40 p.m.

During the same 20-minute period, Ms Brailey is also alleged to have incited the teenager to have sexual intercourse with her.

She appeared in Campbelltown Magistrates Court on Wednesday morning alongside supporters and her lawyer Abbas Soukie.

Mr Soukie told the court that despite repeated attempts to contact the officer in charge of the investigation, the evidence had not yet been provided to him.

The court was told that the Director of Public Prosecutions received the brief at the end of last month but it did not meet the requirements.

Judge Rana Daher ordered that the defense briefs be served by October 29 and that the matter be returned to court the following day.
