A disgraced Lanarkshire high school teacher has been removed from the register after sending sexual images, videos and messages to an S6 pupil.
In September 2018, when a S2 pupil suggested that it would be inappropriate for Lamont and Pupil A to enter into a relationship, he responded "there isn’t that much of an age gap between us and Pupil A is very mature for her age". He then told her to delete the emails and added her on Snapchat before telling her not to tell anyone he had added her on the platform.
Lamont also sent Pupil A indecent photos and a video of him engaging in a sex act and asked her to send images in return. In February 2019, Lamont emailed the pupil from his personal account, saying "I didn’t see you as a pupil, I saw you as my TA". Witness statements by the school's head teacher and head of the English department at the school at the time of the incidents said they had no knowledge of Lamont's behaviour.
