Deputy head who giggled as she raped schoolgirl in sick videos with her boyfriend is banned from teaching for life

Predator’s ’sordid secret’ revealed when cops searched vile lover’s phone

A deputy head who giggled as she raped a schoolgirl with her twisted lover has been banned from teaching for life.

Julie Morris, 44, shared "graphic and depraved" fantasies with partner David Morris, 52, that became a "sordid" reality.

The sick pair filmed themselves abusing and raping the victim - with Julie seen laughing as she attacked the girl, who was aged under 13.

She was locked up for 13 years in December 2021 after admitting 18 sex offences that were unrelated to her job as safeguarding lead at St George’s Central Church of England Primary School near Wigan.

Morris has now been banned from the classroom for life following a misconduct hearing.

A Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) panel found her vile actions were "fundamentally incompatible with her being a teacher".

The ruling continued: "Her conduct ran counter to what should be at the very core of the practice of a teacher with a duty of care towards children.

"The panel considered that Ms Morris’ behaviour in committing these offences would undoubtedly affect public confidence in the teaching profession, particularly given the influence that teachers may have on pupils, parents and others in the community.

"Her conduct ran counter to what should be at the very core of the practice of a teacher with a duty of care towards children.

"The fact that Ms Morris was also the safeguarding lead at her school makes her offending all the more shocking in that, whilst the designated point of contact for welfare and safety concerns at the School, she herself was engaged in abusing a child, albeit not one at the school."

The sadistic pair met on Plenty of Fish after separating from their partners in 2016.

Prosecutor John Wyn Williams said the relationship "quickly became intensely sexual".

He added: "The communication between them became graphic and depraved, which led to some of their sexual fantasies becoming a reality."

The couple’s "sordid secret" was revealed when police found a conversation about sexual abuse of children involving David Morris in a phone seized during a search warrant.

A number of devices were also taken that showed the recordings of rape and sexual abuse.

Morris filmed herself laughing as she attacked the girl in the sick videos - but claimed to cops the victim wanted to take part.

Officers trawled through 175,000 pages of sexually explicit messages between the couple - discovering they set up a group chat with the victim where they discussed how they would abuse her.

Morris also sent photographs of children at the school to David - who shared her surname but was not her husband - which were not indecent nor criminal and the kids were not abused, cops said.

She admitted two counts of rape, nine of inciting a child under the age of 13 to engage in sexual activity, and two of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child.

Vile abuse

Morris also admitted three counts of taking indecent images of a child, one of engaging in sexual communication with a child and one of possessing indecent images of a child.

David Morris pleaded guilty to seven counts of rape, 13 counts of causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity and two counts of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child.

He also admitted taking indecent images under the category A - the most serious levels - and B and C.

The defendant further pleaded guilty to distributing indecent images, two counts of engaging in sexual communications with a child, three counts of voyeurism, possession of an extreme pornographic image and possession of a prohibited image of a child.

Jailing the pair, Judge Andrew Menary said: "Every now and again you see cases, the circumstances of which are almost beyond belief.

"This is one of those cases. It demonstrates that human depravity really knows no depths."
