   A former Oldham teacher has been jailed after having sex with a   
   pupil.   
      
   Darren Fisher, 40, of Woodlands Grove, Halifax, was sentenced to   
   five years in prison at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court   
   today (Thursday 7 September 2017).   
      
   He previously pleaded guilty to six counts of sexual activity   
   with a child and six counts of engaging in sexual activity with   
   a person under the age of 18 whilst in a position of trust.   
      
   The court heard how the teacher - who worked at a school in   
   Oldham at the time of the offences - would send the girl e-mails   
   and text messages which became sexually inappropriate.   
      
   He would then take her in his car to locations across Greater   
   Manchester, including car parks and lay-bys, where they would   
   have sex.   
      
   The sexual activity continued for about a year before Fisher was   
   arrested in November 2016 after concerns were raised to police   
   about his behaviour.   
      
   When he was arrested he admitted to officers he knew the victim   
   was underage when he began having sex with her.   
      
   Detective Constable Linda Turner, from GMP’s Oldham borough,   
   said: “Fisher disregarded his duty as a teacher to protect and   
   support this child; instead he took the opportunity to use her   
   for his own sick sexual gratification.   
      
   “His actions will sadly leave emotional scars on this victim.   
      
   “I would like to praise her for her bravery, for speaking out   
   and helping us ensure justice was served today.”
