Scots OnlyFans teacher who sold x-rated pics struck off by watchdog
Kirsty Buchan who previously taught at Bannerman High School has been struck off the teaching register. A Scots teacher who was sacked for selling X-rated photos on OnlyFans has been struck off. Kirsty Buchan, 34, of Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, left her role at Bannerman High School in Glasgow when her explicit sideline was revealed. Pupils had got wind of the full-frontal content and some parents were furious. The physics teacher claimed she only started to post images to make money amid a pay row. In an interview with the Record in 2022 she later claimed to have made £60,000 in just one month by sharing photos of herself on the adult site. Glasgow City Council launched a probe into Buchan and referred the case to the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS). The mum-of-one's case went before a disciplinary panel where she faced three allegations against her. The education watchdog found that she had failed to conceal her identity and profession, and that her behaviour lacked integrity. It comes just a few days after the 34-year-old spoke to the Record blasting education bosses for their 'Victorian values', while saying she was too busy to attend the hearing - as she was going to be doing a photo-shoot for her OnlyFans site. She said: 'The way I've been treated in the school and the education system has been very one-sided and unfair. 'They have applied Victorian values to behaviour that is socially acceptable in 2025 and written it up as though I am suffering from poor morality." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The GTCS said that between 2022 and 2023 Buchan set up an OnlyFans page using the moniker 'Jessica Jackrabbitx' and used the profile to sell explicit photos and videos. It is said her bio on her page read, 'good teacher gone bad really bad', and made reference to posting 'big t**s and sexy tight body' photos 'every couple of days'. They also said she failed 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. Gary Burton, solicitor and presenting officer for the GTCS said Ms Buchan had "used her profession as a selling tool", appeared to have justified her actions in newspaper interviews and that Bannerman High School was "now synonymous with having an OnlyFans teacher". The GTCS found that all allegations against Ms Buchan had been proven and decided that she should be struck off on Monday afternoon. Mr Burton recommended that it should be two years before she can reapply for teacher registration. Buchan had previously defended her decision to join OnlyFans. She told the Record last week: 'The reality is that I live my life according to proper values. I'm loyal and decent and I treat people properly. And I know I was a very good teacher because I really cared about the kids I taught. 'I'd have loved to have carried on with both but that was taken away from me. "It really just makes me feel sad, to give me a life ban and make out that I'm a bad teacher when opposite is true." She added: "People just need to get over it. What I do is not hurting anyone.'

Edinburgh police officer sues force after 'suspension for photo with influencer'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info An Edinburgh authorised firearms officer is taking legal action against Police Scotland - claiming he was unfairly suspended after an "incident" was filmed and posted on TikTok. Steven Jones, 35, gave evidence at the Edinburgh Employment Tribunal on Monday, June 9 where he is suing on the grounds of sex discrimination. Mr Jones says his behaviour was branded as "misogynistic" and he suffered detriment due to a fear among Police Scotland management that the armed response unit is perceived as having a "boys' club mentality". The court heard details of the incident which took place on March 1, 2024. It concerns a video posted to TikTok by Scottish singer Tallia Storm. Footage shows Mr Jones and his partner exiting their marked police vehicle on Edinburgh's Cowgate to snap a photo with Ms Storm. Mr Jones can be seen taking the photograph while his partner poses with the media personality. The court heard that Mr Jones' superiors "chastised" him following the incident. Mr Jones claimed they described his conduct as "mysogynistic". The officer also said he was criticised following the public's "negative" response to the TikTok and for parking the police vehicle on a road with "heavy" pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Mr Jones believed he was punished due to "past instances of misogyny" in the firearms unit, which he felt constitutes sex discrimination. He claimed senior management at Police Scotland were wary the armed response unit is perceived as having a "lads' mentality". He said: "Because of the word "misogyny," it made me feel it was because I as a male interacting with a female that it was viewed through that lens. If a member of the other sex had that interaction, it wouldn't have happened." Employment solicitor Mr Merck, representing Mr Jones, made reference to a prominent case where female firearms officer Rhona Malone was paid nearly £1m after an employment tribunal found she had been victimised on the basis of sex by Police Scotland. Mr Jones believed Ms Malone's case informed the reason his behaviour was branded as "misogynistic". Mr Jones added: "It really surprised me. I was extremely upset and shocked because I knew I had to disclose to my partner what I had been accused of and explain to my family." On March 1, 2024 Mr Jones and his colleague were on "parliament duty", requiring them to patrol the streets surrounding Scottish Parliament including the Cowgate and Grassmarket. While driving on Cowgate, the pair encountered a large crowd of pedestrians. Mr Jones, who was driving, slowed the vehicle to assess whether the scene required intervention. He claimed he then noticed Ms Storm in the crowd. Mr Jones said: "I knew who she was due to the publicity and her being the capital DJ host at the time. She was on the side of trams and buses." He and his partner exited their vehicle - which housed firearms inside a locked compartment - for around one minute. Mr Jones added: "It could've been less than that." The officer claimed Ms Storm was "ecstatic" by the photo op and stated: "There was no rude behaviour or catcalling. I present myself courteously and was calm in the situation. We engaged in conversation to ascertain that a Q&A was being held. It looked like she was making her way over. We very quickly introduced ourselves, it was a polite interaction." The officer also said he and his partner continued to maintain security of their vehicle during the incident. Mr Jones claimed he later faced suspension, a sanction he felt was not commensurate to his actions. He said: "It is our job to engage with people. We don't police with fear, we police by good interactions with the public. The last thing I'd ever want is the public to fear the police and to fear me. I always speak to people as a human being. I meet them where they are. Mr Jones joined Police Scotland in March 2017. In June 2023, he completed authorised firearms officer training. The court heard of his ambition to become a national firearms instructor and how Mr Jones claimed he was repeatedly nudged to pursue a role in counterterrorism. However, since the incident the officer said he has been demoted to an office role dealing with "low-level daily calls" whereas he was formerly tasked with "very high risk incidents" with "very high levels of decision making" on the firearms unit. The five-day proceedings began on Monday, June 9 and are presided over by Employment Judge Amanda Jones. The tribunal continues.
