Tayla Lee Brailey, who allegedly gave her victim a three-word warning of “don’t tell anyone”, is facing further charges as another teenage victim has been identified by New South Wales police
A married female PE teacher has been accused of sexually abusing another teenage student after police searched her phone and found explicit videos.
Tayla Lee Brailey, 30, was initially arrested at a high school in Sydney, Australia and charged with sexually touching a person under special care, having sex with a person under special care and aggravated sexual assault. After searching her phone, New South Wales (NSW) Police have now slapped her with further charges linked to the abuse of another teenage boy.
The Liverpool Local Court heard she allegedly gave the boy a three-word warning of “don’t tell anyone” during the alleged abuse.
Brailey is facing charges of sexual intercourse with a child under authority, and with sexually touching a child under authority. She has now also been charged with using a carriage service to access child abuse material and a fresh charge of using a carriage service to transmit child abuse material to herself. Another charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child under authority has been withdrawn.
The alleged abuse initially began via Snapchat where she allegedly shared explicit videos with the student. She then reportedly engaged in sexual activity with the teenager at her home and in the back of a car as he skipped school to meet her.
She has also been accused of sexual activity with the second student in her classroom. She has not entered any pleas, and the case is listed to be heard at Campbelltown Local Court on May 21.
Brailey first appeared in court in August 2024, when the prosecution opposed her bail application.
Her husband, who she married in September 2023, stayed in the lobby of the court during the initial hearings, while her parents were present and became emotional at times.
Magistrate Abdul-Karim ruled Brailey granted bail on the condition that she stay at her parents’ house and only leave home if accompanied by one them.
She was also ordered to surrender her passport, abide by a curfew, and not go near the school where she worked.
The NSW Department for Education confirmed the teacher had been suspended without pay and support is being provided to staff and students at the school.
