Teacher faces being struck off after pupils find explicit OnlyFans pictures

A Glasgow teacher faces being banned from the profession after it was discovered she had been posting sexually explicit pictures online.

Kirsty Buchan received numerous complaints from parents and resigned from her position at Bannerman High School in Baillieston in December 2022.

The physics teacher, who claimed to have made £60,000 in just one month by sharing photos of herself on the adult site, had taught at the school for six years.

Glasgow City Council confirmed it was investigating Ms Buchan’s behaviour and would refer the matter to the General Teaching Council.

The mum-of-one is now set to go before a disciplinary panel facing allegations against her.

The GTCS allege that between 2022 and 2023 she set up an OnlyFans page using the moniker ‘Jessica Jackrabbitx’ and used the profile to sell explicit photos and videos online.

It is said her bio featured inappropriate sexual language, featuring statements such as “good teacher gone bad…really bad”.

She is also accused of failing to ensure that her profile could not be accessed by any member of the public including those under 18 without them needing to log in or subscribe to OnlyFans.

Buchan, of Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, is further said to have given a newspaper interview in December 2022 while still employed at the school about her decision to join the explicit site.

The GTCS claim her actions were “lacking in integrity”, failed to take steps to stop her being identified and risked bringing the profession into ‘disrepute’.

it is alleged that teacher’s fitness to teach is impaired, or in the alternative she is unfit to teach.

A full hearing on her future in the profession is due to begin on June 9.

The 34-year-old previously defended her decision to use the site to STV News, saying it’s “nobody’s business”.

“I would challenge the facts,” she said. “Why are we teaching females they cannot show their bodies to make money? The people complaining are just bored housewives whose husbands are on the site, it’s just jealousy.

“It’s an over 18s website so children shouldn’t be on it anyway.

“It’s nobody’s business to judge. My son has been raised correctly not to judge people. He could actually teach the adults a thing or two.”

A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman said: “This teacher is no longer an employee of Glasgow City Council.

“The teacher was under investigation prior to resigning following the widespread distribution of wholly inappropriate and pornographic images.

“The council has a code of conduct that all employees should adhere to and a teacher who has actively pursued a second income on this type of website brings their school, the council and their profession into disrepute.

“We referred the details of our investigation to the General Teaching Council (GTC).”
