He faces a disciplinary panel of the Education Workforce Council in Cardiff where he could be struck off the teaching register if found guilty.<\/p>\n

During the hearing Rickard denied having sex with the schoolgirl in the hotel basement – and claimed that his boast was “merely banter.”<\/p>\n

He admitted the bragging that he “smashed her” to fellow teacher Paul Hicks – and confessed he “wasn’t proud”.<\/p>\n

Rickard said: “It was complete male bravado made with a wink and a smile, but something I will regret for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n

“I played on the admiration I was receiving.<\/p>\n

“I did say ‘I smashed her’ and they’re words I regret using. I absolutely did not have sexual intercourse with Pupil A. We were in the basement together for about 20 seconds.”<\/p>\n

He is also accused of and remaining in the bar area with Pupil A until approximately 6am; and\/or engaging in sexual intercourse with Pupil A.<\/p>\n

The panel heard on 18 February 2016, he allegedly told Colleague A “you know [Pupil A]? I’ve just smashed her” or words to that effect and that he had sex with Pupil A in the hostel basement and discussed details relating to this.<\/p>\n
