Fresh Epping hotel protests tonight after migrant charged with sexual assault
ESSEX Police have issued advice as fresh protests are planned outside the Bell Hotel in Epping tonight after migrant residing there was charged with sexual assault yesterday. Tonight's protest follows charges against Syrian national Mohammed Sharwarq, 32, who resides at the hotel and appeared before Chelmsford Magistrates' Court yesterday on a charge of sexual assault, two counts of common assault and four of assault by beating. Police retain previous powers to ask protesters to remove face coverings in the area outside the hotel, which has been the scene of protests for weeks after another man, Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, 38, was charged with sexual assault. The 38-year-old is accused of attempting to kiss a 14-year-old girl, he denies the charges and is due to stand trial this month. A spokesperson for Essex Police said: "We are aware of a planned peaceful protest this evening in Epping, and we have a full policing plan in place to ensure the safety of everyone in attendance and those resident in the area. "New fencing is in place at a site opposite the hotel, which will assist us in facilitating the protest, maintaining road safety and minimising disruption to everyone driving in Epping this evening. The former taller fencing has been removed. "Our officers at the protest site have all of the measures previously in place available to use should they believe there may be a risk of serious disorder or serious disruption in the area.

"However, because of the recent peaceful protests there are no orders in place for this evening's event at this time. "We trust that those who have protested peacefully in previous weeks will continue to do so. "Our Liaison Teams will be at the scene throughout the evening once again today." The housing of asylum seekers at hotels has come under increasing scrutiny in recent weeks, with Epping Forest District Council applying for an interim High Court injunction in a bid to stop asylum seekers from being housed at the Bell Hotel.

Teacher who sent explicit pictures to 15-year-old boy banned for life
A teacher who sent explicit pictures of herself to a 15-year-old pupil has been banned from the profession for life. Georgia Lowe, 27, was caught when 'inappropriate' notes were found by the boy's mother. Her relationship with him began with late-night email sessions using emojis and nicknames, months after she started in the role, a Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) panel heard. When the affair came to light, Ms Lowe was suspended by the school, but she contacted the pupil again, sending him sexual images of herself, the TRA panel was told. After resigning, the teacher was found guilty of engaging in sexual communication with a child and was handed a 14-month suspended jail term, the panel heard. Ms Lowe began working as a trainee teacher at Kingsmead School, Staffordshire, in July 2021. In September that year, when she was 'responsible' for the then 15-year-old, she began emailing him as late as 10pm, the panel was told. Her messages included heart symbol emojis, would often end with a kiss, and used nicknames, the panel heard. Ms Lowe wrote to the pupil using phrases like 'make me proud', 'try not to miss me too much' and 'you've already made my day', the TRA was told. In October 2021, the boy's mother found notes she believed were from Ms Lowe and reported her concerns to the school. An investigation was launched, and Ms Lowe was suspended, the panel heard. Despite having 'a warning shot across her bows', the teacher contacted the boy again, and sent him intimate photos, the TRA was told. Ms Lowe resigned in November 2021 and was charged by the police. She initially denied the charge before changing her plead to guilty on the day of trial, the panel heard. Ms Lowe was sentenced to 14 months jail, suspended for 18 months, and was put on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years. In his sentencing remarks, the judge said Ms Lowe committed a 'gross breach of trust' and 'used the environment in which you were working with (the pupil) to pursue what was evidently your sexual interest in him'. 'You moved on to the passing of inappropriate notes to him, and ultimately, by the end of the period that we are concerned with, matters escalated to private digital communications between you and him, including you sending him images of yourself in your underwear,' the judge said. 'The concerning aspect of your case is that after matters came to light, by his mother having found out what was going on, you were spoken to, and yet you still had another face-to-face meeting with him at school, and ultimately, when the investigation was launched and you were suspended from work, you contacted him again, and that included the sending of the images of yourself to him. 'That was a warning shot across your bows, the investigation at school, and the suspension, but you did not bring your pursuit of him to an end at that point in time.' On behalf of the Secretary of State, decision maker Marc Cavey said Ms Lowe's behaviour was 'incompatible with working as a teacher'. He decided she should be prohibited from teaching indefinitely.
