A Stirlingshire high school teacher who performed a partial striptease for a 15-year-old schoolgirl he called “the full package” was this week spared a jail sentence.Kenneth O’Brien targeted the girl who was in one of his classes.At Stirling Sheriff Court on Wednesday, the 29-year-old was placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register and given two years’ supervision and a curfew.The court had heard that last year, the victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was in the gym hall when O’Brien came to find her, and told her she had to go to his classroom to complete a test she had “missed”.When she got there, there was no-one else in the classroom.Alone with the girl, O’Brien told her that he would add her on Snapchat “if he was feeling good”, before marking her test, saying “congratulations, you’ve passed”, and slapping her on the buttocks over her clothing.The girl went to the toilets and “broke down”, but later found O’Brien had indeed added her as a friend on the social messaging service.Fiscal depute James Moncrieff said that O’Brien told the girl to change his name on Snapchat “for the sake of his career”.The girl then sent him five pictures of herself wearing only underwear, and he replied, “You’re the full package, aren’t you?”He later sent her selfies of himself taken in the school toilets with his hands down his trousers - and a video which showed him lowering a towel down his body - without actually exposing his private parts.He said this was “his turn to tease”.Next day he messaged her again saying, “I’m off periods three and five, baby.”He asked her to let him know where they could meet.
