Teacher arrested for 'grooming'
Date published: 23 July 2008
On Friday 18 July 2008, detectives in Rochdale arrested a man on suspicion of grooming a child.
The 25-year-old man, a teacher at Holy Family School in Heywood, was interviewed and bailed until 21 November 2008, pending further inquiries.
The Local Authority and the school governing body have refused to comment, all the Council would say is: "The matter is with the police and we cannot comment further at this stage."
No one was available at Salford Catholic Diocese Education Department to comment.
However, we understand the teacher has been suspended from the school and that his home computer and school laptop have been seized by the police.
'Grooming' is the name for techniques used to entice children into sexual activity.
