A female teacher kissed a 17-year-old 'three or four times' in a nightclub and held her hand by groin as they danced in a 'sexualised' way, a tribunal hears.
Ashley McConnell, then 30, admitted holding hands with the 17-year-old student, known as Pupil A, at Skinandi's nightclub in Thurso, Caithness in Scotland, in March 2018.
However, the physics teacher said she did not kiss or dance with the student in a sexualised manner, despite the teenager saying most of the kisses were 'more than a peck'.
Other students who were also at the nightclub that evening described the student's dancing with the teacher as 'dirty' and 'sexualised'.

Dr Fiona Grant, a former head teacher of the school, launched an investigation over the allegations.
She found that concerned students approached school bosses with a video of the alleged incident.
Describing a still image taken from the video, Dr Grant said that 'Miss McConnell's hand is flat towards pupil A's groin.'
Recounting her interview with Pupil A, Dr Grant added that the teen 'indicated that he was the one to stop events between himself and Miss McConnell.'
