Police arrest Burnley secondary school teacher on suspicion of sexual activity with child

Police have arrested a teacher at a Burnley secondary school on suspicion of sexual activity involving a child.

The Shuttleworth College teacher was arrested this week.

A police spokesman said: “A man in his 20s from Blackburn was arrested on suspicion of sexual activity involving a child under 16.

"He has been released on bail.”

Police bail involves release from custody to await a later appearance at court or police station. Pre-charge bail means the suspect will have to appear at a police station at a later date.
