London: Two school
students in Britain were expelled after a gossip campaign on
Facebook said the pair had sex in a school storeroom and toilet.
Trevor Evans and his girlfriend were 16 when they were expelled
last year from the West Kirby Grammar School in Wirral, the Daily
Mail reported.
An independent tribunal, however, said the school failed to
investigate the claims properly, and that there was not enough
evidence against the pair.
Evans, now 17, has denied having sex with his then girlfriend. He
said he was consoling her in a toilet cubicle after she became
upset.
His mother said she received a letter from the head-teacher, and
since then she has been fighting to clear her son's name.
"This was a vindictive campaign hatched by some girls at the
school who posted malicious rumours about him on Facebook," she
said.
"The way the school dealt with this was a knee-jerk reaction and
the right to education should be supported, not taken away," she
said.
