Teacher appears before courts on 15 sex charges

(CNS): A drama teacher who has been suspended from his job teaching at a government high school was remanded in custody on Friday following his first appearance in the Grand Court on a catalogue of charges relating to the sexual assault of students. Delroy James (32) is facing fifteen charges ranging from cruelty to a child to indecent assault, as well as charges of possessing of pornographic images of a child. Having just received the details of the allegations from the crown, his attorney, Nick Dixie, asked for a two week adjournment but was at pains to stress that the accusations against his client did not relate to any kind of violence or coercion and were limited to “inappropriate touching” and showing the boys pornographic material.
