Lyndi Corston, 61, had spent two decades earning the trust of parents and administrators at Rye Community Primary School in East Sussex. No one suspected anything. Until, in September 2024, a colleague saw an OnlyFans notification on her phone.

The account featured nudity, though not under her name. Corston closed it immediately when asked to do so, but months later she was identified on a pornographic site as a “grandmother teacher”, according to the UK Teaching Regulation Agency.

She admitted that her actions were voluntary and “unacceptable”. There was no coercion, nor were the children directly exposed. But the body was unequivocal: as a teacher, she is expected to set an example. She is now banned from teaching, with a review not possible until 2028.
