He was jailed for five years and three months last year
A jailed teacher from Cheshire has been banned from the profession after he was jailed for having sex with a boy.
The court heard he made contact with his victim, a 15-year-old boy, on Grindr. He described himself as a 'sex-obsessed pervert' during conversations and later suggested the boy wear his school uniform when they met up. "On May 28, 2020, the boy disclosed that he had sexual intercourse with Mr Slater. The boy stated that Mr Slater was aware of his age.
The findings read: "The panel found that Mr Slater’s conduct was at the most serious end of the spectrum. The evidence contained within the bundle relating to Mr Slater’s conduct was disturbing and caused the panel significant concern. When he was jailed, the court heard Slater, 40, groomed the boy in a 'sophisticated and highly effective manner' between June and November 2019.
Slater, who was in an open relationship, also told the boy that he wouldn't be telling his partner about their relationship because it was "technically naughty".Slater bought his victim gifts, suggested he could book them a hotel room, and on at least one occasion sent a lengthy message indicating that he had romantic feelings for him.
During his police interview, Slater told police that he had believed the boy was 18-years-old, because of his Grindr profile. Defending, Simon Gurney told the court that for the first two months of their communication, Slater was not aware of the boy's the age and by the time he'd found out, they were already in an "emotional and affectionate" relationship.Mr Gurney said that Slater, of Holland Street, Crewe, had no previous convictions and that prior to his offending, he had gone "above and beyond devoting his life to a profession helping young people.
