A transgender college learning support assistant was accused today of “unacceptable professional conduct” by appearing in a porn video.

Dr Robyn Williams, who worked at Llandrillo college at Rhos on Sea, failed to appear before a fitness to practise hearing of the Education Workforce Council at Ewloe.

Dr Williams was accused of posing for 16 snaps of an indecent or pornographic nature before April 13, 2016, intended for publication in an adult magazine. Another allegation was that images were posted on Twitter.

David Phillips, health and safety manager at Llandrillo college, told the panel Dr Williams had been employed ten years. In April 2016 he had been approached by two women administrators about the Twitter posts.

“Staff members were saying “I don’t think this is proper, it’s disgusting, it makes my stomach turn’,” he said.

On a Twitter feed, Dr WIlliams was naked and there was “graphic” text, he said. In an “obscene” video the worker was lying on a bed, talking to a camera and getting ready for sex.

“I didn’t wish to view any further, “ Mr Phillips remarked.

Dr Williams resigned from the college.

Mr Phillips said he saw no actual sex act. “I wouldn’t know who uploaded it,” he added about the source of the video.

Delme Griffiths, the EWC legal adviser, said Dr Williams had told the EWC previously :”I didn’t post or upload any of the images referred to and the account isn’t my Twitter account.”

When she wrote to the EWC, Dr Williams said :”I don’t believe my behaviour constituted unacceptable professional conduct. I didn’t post or upload any of the images and the account on which they appear isn’t my Twitter account.”

She said images had been taken of her in 2015 for a “top shelf” men’s magazine. “Some of those images seem to have made their way on-line,” she stated.

Dr Williams said she worked as a photographic model before she was registered with the EWC and never mixed her jobs. “With hindsight I can see my actions may have been inappropriate,” she wrote. “I am deeply regretful of any offence caused. I feel I did the right thing in tendering my resignation.”

She said she had been “celebrating my femininity.” Dr WIlliams declared :”As a feminist woman I am deeply opposed to pornography. Erotic imagery celebrates the beauty of the human body. I posed for erotic and not explicit images.”

Dr Williams said she had become a highly successful businesswoman running a catering business. She didn’t wish to return to education work.

Samantha McIlvogue, director of learning services, said Dr Williams supported students aged from 16. The Twitter feed had a mock-up tabloid image of Dr Williams with her nipples showing, one of her in the bath, and a third of her on a bed wearing a leopard print garment.

Dr Williams told her pictures had been taken as part of a modelling job.

David Phillips said the images he’d seen were "pretty grim.”

Dr Williams’s conduct was alleged to have displayed “a lack of integrity.”

The hearing continues
