A chemistry teacher has been found guilty of indecently assaulting two teenage students in the late 1980s.
Sally-Anne Bowen, 65, has been found guilty at Harrow Crown Court of seven counts of indecent assault against two teenage pupils in the late 1980s.
She first joined north London boys’ school Christ’s College Finchley as a 25-year-old in 1986.
Last week during her trial it was heard that she had sex with one schoolboy ’20 or 30 times’ in the summer of 1988. Another was told to touch her intimately.
She is alleged to have entered into sexual relationships with each of them in the late 1980s, when they were around 14 to 15.
Jurors were told ‘there was a lot of banter and rather than shut down sexually provocative conversations, she encouraged the boys to speak and joke openly about sex’.

Bowen was first reported to police in 2014 after one of her victims was encouraged by his then-wife to come forward – realising his son had reached the same age when he was abused.
She was interviewed in 2015 when she painted her accuser as a ‘nuisance’ who was ‘besotted’ with her and followed her around.
The investigation was closed, but the victim appealed the decision and gave a second police interview in 2020.
Details of his accusations were forwarded to the Teaching Regulation Authority, and she was thrown out of the profession.
