    JOHN HILLIER FROM MORPETH AND HALL JAILED FOR SEXUAL GROOMING AND KISSING PUPIL IN WHITLEY BAY

    In a disturbing case that has shocked the local community, John Hillier, a well-known teacher from Morpeth, was convicted of engaging in inappropriate conduct with a 15-year-old pupil at Whitley Bay High School. The incident, which took place in a secluded storage area known among students as the ‘bat cave,’ has brought to light serious breaches of trust and professional conduct.

    According to court proceedings, Hillier, a physically imposing PE teacher and rugby coach, began grooming the young girl just before Christmas. Using Facebook as his tool, he sent her a series of messages that grew increasingly suggestive and inappropriate. The messages included promises of physical contact that he described as more intense than typical detention, hinting at a desire for ‘sweating and skin to skin contact,’ which raised alarm among those aware of his communications.

    The court heard that Hillier’s misconduct culminated in a disturbing incident inside the ‘bat cave,’ a storage cupboard used by pupils for changing and storage during PE lessons. Prosecutor Alec Burns described how the teacher lured the girl into the confined space, locked the door behind her, and then proceeded to physically assault her with a kiss. Hillier’s hands reportedly went around her waist, pulling her close, as he ran his fingers through her hair before pressing his lips to hers.

    The victim, who has chosen to remain anonymous to protect her privacy, managed to push Hillier away and told him to stop. Despite her clear refusal, Hillier continued to send her a message shortly afterward, saying, “Hope you enjoyed the bat cave,” indicating that he was aware of the inappropriate nature of his actions and possibly attempting to justify or mock the incident.

    Once the girl confided in another teacher and her mother was informed, police were promptly called to investigate the matter. Hillier initially denied any misconduct, and some of his supporters even created a Facebook tribute page, believing in his innocence. However, during the trial, Hillier ultimately admitted to meeting a child following a period of sexual grooming, leading to his conviction.

    He was sentenced to eight months in prison by Newcastle Crown Court. Judge Brian Forster emphasized that only custody was appropriate, despite Hillier’s previously unblemished teaching record, glowing references, and his voluntary involvement in coaching at a local rugby club. The judge stated that teachers are entrusted with the well-being of their students and that the boundaries of acceptable behavior are clear and well-understood within the profession.

    Judge Forster condemned Hillier for breaching this trust, noting that his actions had caused significant harm not only to the victim but also to the reputation of the school and the teaching profession as a whole. The judge clarified that his sentence was based on the fact that Hillier’s actions were limited to a ‘kiss and cuddle,’ but nonetheless, the breach of trust warranted serious punishment.

    In addition to his prison sentence, Hillier was ordered to comply with a five-year sex offences prevention order and was mandated to register as a sex offender for the next ten years. The court’s decision reflects the gravity of the misconduct and the importance of safeguarding young students from exploitation.

    During the hearing, Robert Adams, Hillier’s defense lawyer, acknowledged that a single “terrible mistake” had cost his client his career, reputation, and marriage. Adams expressed remorse on Hillier’s behalf, stating that he was deeply sorry for the impact on the victim and that Hillier had undergone significant remorse and self-reflection since the incident. Despite the remorse, the court’s ruling underscores the serious consequences of such breaches of trust by professionals entrusted with the care of minors.
