School teacher pleads guilty to child assault

A public high school teacher has pleaded guilty to charges related to assaulting young boys.

Delroy Anthony James, 32, appeared in Grand Court on Friday on a 10 count indictment. He pleaded guilty to three charges, including two counts of indecent assault and one count of possession of an indecent image of a child.

Defense attorney Nicholas Dixey said additional evidence had been submitted and requested an adjournment before pleas were considered for the other charges.

“He understands these [charges] will attract a custodial sentence,” Mr. Dixey said.

“These are serious matters and need to be given serious consideration.”
