Roundhay Music Teacher Banned for Sending Sexual Messages to 'Teen'

Lawrence Levin, a 70-year-old music teacher associated with Roundhay Music in Leeds, has been banned from teaching after being caught sending sexual messages to an undercover officer posing as a 13-year-old girl.

Levin, who was convicted in April 2021 for attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child, expressed remorse during the Teaching Regulation Agency's misconduct hearing.

The panel ruled his actions fell significantly short of professional standards, leading to his indefinite ban from the teaching profession.
