A headteacher who committed child sex offenses was put in jail.

It has recently come to light that a man by the name of Jordan Emms, age 38, who was previously convicted of sexually assaulting a child, was actually a headteacher at a primary school. The incident occurred in Ulverston, Cumbria between 2018 and 2020, and involved one victim, as confirmed by Preston Crown Court.

The school in question, Thwaites School in Hallthwaites, Cumbria, has since confirmed that Emms was indeed employed as the Headteacher. According to a spokesperson from Cumberland Council, Emms was hired after passing all necessary background checks and receiving positive references. The safety and well-being of students is always a top priority, and as soon as the allegations against Emms came to light, immediate action was taken to suspend him from his position at the school.

It is important to note that the offences committed by Emms were not related to his employment at Thwaites School. As stated by the council spokesperson, "We can confirm that these offences do not relate to his employment at Thwaites School." This clarification was made to ensure that the reputation and integrity of the school were not tarnished by Emms' actions.

In August of last year, a new headteacher was appointed to replace Emms. The former headteacher, a resident of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, was found guilty after a six-day trial in November. On December 16, Judge Richard Gioserano sentenced Emms to three years in prison and imposed a sexual harm prevention order for seven years. Additionally, Emms will be placed on the sex offenders register.

Detective Sergeant Mike Wallace, who worked on the case, expressed his satisfaction with the outcome of the trial. He stated, "Emms maintained that he had not committed these abhorrent offences, however a jury concluded that he was guilty. I hope the outcome of this trial, and sentence given to Emms today, can provide the victim with some reassurance that justice has been done."

He also encouraged anyone who has been a victim of sexual abuse to come forward and report it to the police. Assuring that their reports will be dealt with sensitively and professionally, he emphasized that they will be fully supported throughout the investigation process.

The revelation of Jordan Emms' past actions has caused shock and concern among parents and the community. However, the school and council have taken swift action to address the situation and ensure that the well-being of the students remains a top priority.
