PE Teacher Jailed for Affair with a Schoolgirl

　　A teacher who pursued a teenage schoolgirl until she ended up in his arms was jailed for 18 months yesterday.

　　Though the relationship between Gavin Lister, 31, and the 15-year-old girl did not end up with their having full sex, he bombarded her with text messages until they were in a relationship that involved passionate kissing and intimate touching.

　　Lister, a married man with three children, lost his job as a PE teacher at King’s School, Peterborough, after his arrest in January. The school is regularly one of the highest ranking state schools in the country.
