General Teaching Council for Scotland has now banned her from teaching

A teacher who was struck off after sleeping with a 17-year-old pupil on prom night has given birth to a son.

Former French teacher Isabelle Graham repeatedly 'engaged in sexual activity' with the boy after giving him alcohol and sharing a bed with him at a Travelodge in Edinburgh.

Mrs Graham, a devout Christian who was at the time engaged, was banned yesterday by the General Teaching Council for Scotland, despite claiming her drink had been spiked and that she had no recollection of events.

Now a picture has emerged of the 28-year-old and her husband cradling her baby bump shortly before she gave birth last week.

Investigation: This photo of a blonde woman in bed and a schoolboy clutching a bottle of wine sparked the probe into whether French teacher Isabelle Graham had sex with a student at a Travelodge after the school prom

The former teacher at Whitburn Academy, West Lothian, was judged unfit to teach and barred from the profession by the GTCS disciplinary panel yesterday.

The scandal erupted shortly after the prom night in June 2014 when a picture emerged on social media which showed a blonde woman in bed and the boy involved in the case standing by the door with a bottle in his hand.

An investigation was launched which involved police but did not lead to criminal charges against Mrs Graham, who is believed to be 28.

She was charged by the GTCS but was not present at the hearing in Edinburgh this week.

Miss Graham has since married Andrew Wilkie, 27, a trainee clergyman, and now goes by the name Shona Wilkie. Her father Paul is a pastor at Destiny Church in Edinburgh.

She and her husband have been involved with evangelical military charity The Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Scripture Readers Association (Sasra), of which the Queen is patron.

She is believed to have given birth to the couple's first child, a son, last week.

Married teacher Isabelle Graham, 28 (pictured with her husband Andrew on their wedding day), insisted she was a practising Christian and had been saving herself for her wedding night but has today been banned from teaching for having relations with a 17-year-old pupil at a Travelodge in Edinburgh after prom

The GTCS case presenter, Carla Roth, today addressed the panel on the seriousness of the charges.

She said Mrs Graham's actions had a 'public nature', having happened around pupils and with the image shared on social media.

She said that Mrs Graham's actions left pupils 'uncomfortable' and 'somewhat shocked' and told the panel: 'You would have to question what sort of role model was provided in this instance.'

Turning to the teacher's claim that her drink had been spiked, Ms Roth said this 'is essentially no more than a speculation.'

She added: 'We simply have no evidence of exactly why she may have had a memory loss.'

Mrs Graham was 'only willing to consider one version of events', said Ms Roth, that her drink had been spiked rather than that she had drunk too much.

'She cannot be said to have shown any insight into her conduct,' declared the lawyer.

The charges levelled against Ms Graham in full read: 'On 5 June or 6 June 2014 or overnight, whilst employed as a teacher at Whitburn Academy and following the school's Sixth Year Prom at Carlton Highland Hotel, North Bridge, Edinburgh, you did accompany Pupil A and other pupils to the Travelodge, Waterloo Place, Edinburgh, where you did have inappropriate contact with Pupil A.'

'You did spend approximately three hours alone with Pupil A in an hotel room. Share an alcoholic drink with Pupil A (age 17 at the time). Share a bed with Pupil A. Repeatedly engage in sexual activity with Pupil A. And in light of the above it is alleged that your fitness to teach is impaired.'

During the hearing DS Keith Mailer, who investigated the incident for Police Scotland, was called as a witness.

He said that Mrs Graham 'was concerned that her drink was spiked' but that there was no evidence of this when she was tested at a hospital.

Speaking about CCTV video from the night, he said: 'Throughout the footage there's no sign that Mrs Graham is under the excessive influence of drugs or alcohol.'

Footage also showed the teacher and student kissing, he said, adding: 'The way she moved and conducted herself suggested someone who was making conscious decisions.'

DS Mailer charged Mrs Graham with engaging in sexual activity with a minor in her care whilst in a position of trust.

But the Procurator Fiscal failed to bring the case to court, citing a lack of evidence.

Mrs Graham resigned from her post after the allegations were made.

Isabelle Graham's actions made other students uncomfortable and she can not now be seen as a suitable role model - the hearing heard

The newly married teacher, who now lives abroad, failed to appear for any portion of the hearing despite being offered a video link interview.

She instead denied all of the charges made against her through a submitted statement - maintaining that she had no memory of the night and claiming that her drink had been spiked.

She also said that if the photo taken on the night did feature her, she was clearly unconscious and therefore it was 'posed' without her consent.

She described herself as a 'victim', also saying: 'The person in the bed in the photo is clearly not in control of the situation.'

She furthermore claimed she was an 'active and practising Christian' who was 'waiting until marriage' before having sex.

The photograph allegedly showing Mrs Graham asleep in the Travelodge room has now resurfaced on social media.

One of the images has been captioned by a student: 'Poor show from Miss Graham, I had higher respect for my teacher than this! Disgusting.'

Mrs Graham's husband, Andrew Wilkie, who is training to enter the clergy, said his girlfriend had 'always put her Christian faith above all other things' as he spoke at a disciplinary hearing

Fraser Thomson, a council employee who investigated the case, told the panel an investigation began after senior teachers learned of the picture on social media. Describing the photo, he said: 'The pupil standing in the door is Pupil A.

'You can see there what appears to be a lady in the bed. The colour showed the lady with long blonde hair.'

Mr Thomson told the panel students said they saw 'Pupil A and Mrs Graham lying on the bed, one on top of the covers and one underneath the covers'.

He added that she claimed that her first recollection since the night was 'when she woke up in her flat at about 5am'.

She also admitted that four glasses of wine would not normally intoxicate her to that level, and said of the photograph: 'It looks like my hair.' But she denied recognising the young man in the photograph.

GTCS case presenter Carla Roth said that Mrs Graham's claim that she was 'totally out of it' as a result of her drinking 'differs from comment made by any witness'.

The allegations sparked a police investigation at the time - but no charges were brought.

Responding to DS Mailer's claim there were no signs of intoxication, she claimed date rape drugs are available which leave victims lucid, but hinder their decision-making.

Mrs Graham's husband, Andrew Wilkie, who is training to enter the clergy, acted as her representative at the procedural hearing.

In a statement to the panel, he said: 'In all the time I have known her, Mrs Graham has always put her Christian faith above all other things.

'I have never had any doubt that the allegations made against Mrs Graham were false.'

A procedural hearing was heard on July 26 in which she applied to have the case held in private.

But the attempt was denied by the GTCS.

A spokesman for West Lothian Council said: 'Mrs Graham is no longer employed by West Lothian Council and it would not be appropriate to comment further.'
