Can you try to explain to the panel how, when you describe him as always friendly and chatty, yet upon the other hand as being a pest and a being hassling, how those two narratives align?

So... Given that you've provided now a more accurate picture of Pupil A as being someone who was always friendly, always pleasant towards you, very chatty, why didn't you provide that more later and better picture of Pupil A as against casting aspersions that he was not a nice person, a pest, he hassled you? Why was that?

Well, it's not about presenting a story. It's about being honest to the police.

There's a closing of ranks, then and now.

You describe him as being not a nice person, a pest.

That he hassled you. In not a very nice way. He was quite aggressive.

Removed your trousers, pulled down his boxer shorts. That didn't happen, did it?

What Miss Bowen says is that she had no physical contact with you whatsoever, including kissing, masturbation or sex. What do you say about that?

The schoolboys were attracted to you. Would that be fair to say? Yes. And you felt flattered at the time from that interest from the pupils?

You were flattered by 14 or 15 year old boys expressing an interest in you?

Any other comments on your physical appearance, other than those?

Were you not flirting with pupil A?

Talking about staff members as well, whether you fancied those staff members.
