Teacher Christopher Metcalfe 'raped girl in front room'
Christopher Metcalfe ,70, from Nottingham was a rural studies teacher in Mansfield in the late 70's. Derby crown court was told that he had raped a girl aged 15 or 16 in his front room and told the girl he would "get her" if she told anyone, he has denied 5 other sex offences. The jury was also told he touched a 9 year old during 'story time' and after a swimming lesson when he first began teaching. He was also charged with assaulting another girl aged 9 or 10. A statement released by one of the victim says "The women do not know each other, their complaints are quite separate.

I thought this story is made worse by the fact that it is being dealt with 40 years after the incidents took place, Metcalfe is now 70 years old and will not be able to serve the lengthy sentence he deserves because of his advanced age. This story shows representation of age because he became a teacher so he could work with and assault children, it also represents issues of sexual assault because has been charged with 5 different sex offences.
