A TEACHER who invited young boys to his house to play bondage games and take drugs was struck off the teaching register indefinitely.

The General Teaching Council of Wales found three allegations of unacceptable professional conduct by Glyn Adrian Bevan, 55, who taught French at Risca Comprehensive School, proven.

Jacquie Turnbull, the chairwoman of the teaching council's Professional Conduct Committee, said: “The facts proved above constitute 'unacceptable professional conduct', meaning conduct which falls significantly short of the standard expected of a registered teacher and seriously undermines public confidence in the profession.

“Mr Bevan's conduct is fundamentally incompatible with his role as a register teacher. He posed a serious risk to the safety and welfare of pupils."

He encouraged boys to visit his home, engage in bondage and create inappropriate or indecent photographs, the committee found.

The hearing was told the boys were groomed by the teacher.

One witness, only identified as Man A, said in a statement that Bevan supplied him with cocaine, LSD, amphetamines and cannabis and “threw” money at him.

Another witness, identified as Man D, said: “Mr Bevan would manipulate us into trying us up. He would tell us there was money in the house and to tie him up.”

Gaffer tape and ropes were found behind Mr Bevan’s sofa at his home.

Hundreds of pictures of Bevan with boys taking drugs, drinking and engaging in bondage sessions were also found. Some were on display at his home and some were framed.

But Bevan said the pictures were not taken for sexual pleasure and that the boys had sold drugs to him.

In November 2010, Bevan was found to be in possession of inappropriate photos of teenage boys and in April 2011 he failed to attend court and breached his bail conditions.

Bevan denied the accusations and has the right to appeal to the High Court within 28 days.

He was suspended from the school on November 2, 2009 when the allegations first surfaced.

And he did not attend the hearing because of illness.

He suffered a brain haemorrhage in 2009 and had been found unfit to stand trial.
