A FORMER teacher has been sent to prison for a series of sex offences involving children including two rapes of a disabled 11-year-old boy.Kevin Wells, aged 53, of Bishops Oak Ride, Tonbridge, was today jailed for nine years at Maidstone Crown Court. Wells was the head of Year 7 at Ravens Wood School, Oakley Road, Bromley. He pleaded guilty to a total of 14 offences including two rapes of a child. The father of two was sentenced to nine years for each rape and jailed for between nine months and four years for each of the other 12 offences. These sentences will be served concurrently. The court heard police seized a plastic bag containing sex toys, body stockings, and CDs containing 54 videos of child abuse downloaded from peer to peer file sharing networks with a combined running time of nine hours and 33 minutes. Examination of videos recorded by Wells led police to trace the rape victim. The other offences included meeting a child following sexual grooming, sexual activity with a child, causing a child to watch a sex act over the internet and making indecent images of children. Detective Sergeant David Shipley from Kent Police's public protection unit said: "Wells was in contact with a number of vulnerable children, for his own sexual gratification. "He went further than online offending, and met with a very vulnerable and young child, where serious sexual offences took place. "This case is an example of how online behaviour can change to real world abuse, and should highlight the dangers of child exploitation online and that these are real children with real lives that are damaged. "I am pleased that the public protection crime unit has been able to put a stop to his activities and prevent any further abuse being inflicted, viewed or downloaded. "People who engage in these type of offences will be arrested and put before the courts."

TACOMA — A middle school teacher accused of having sex with a student has been returned to jail after a judge doubled his bail to $40,000.

Nelson B. Hanton, 46, was in Pierce County Superior Court yesterday where he pleaded innocent to three counts of third-degree child rape, and a count each of first-degree child molestation, second-degree burglary and tampering with evidence.

A court hearing was set for July 5.

Hanton was arrested Friday and posted $20,000 bail later that day. Judge Lisa Worswick yesterday doubled that amount and ordered him not to have contact with juveniles, including his two minor children, if he posts bail again.

Hanton is on paid administrative leave from the Tacoma School District.

He is accused of having a monthlong sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl at Mason Middle School, where he taught language arts.

The relationship began in mid-May. The girl told investigators she and Hanton would meet in his classroom, often during lunch, to have sex three or four times a week.

After Hanton posted bail Friday, detectives say he violated terms of his leave by returning to the school to remove a vibrator the girl said they'd used.

The device was discovered in a canvas bag in Hanton's car, court documents state.
