Sydney Grammar sex teacher’s identity revealed as Bronwen Williams after court order lifted

REVEALED: Bronwen Williams, 34, gave birth to a baby girl while behind bars last month

The identity of the married Sydney Grammar School teacher jailed for sex with a 17-year-old boy in her care can be revealed after a court order was lifted. 

Bronwen Williams, 35, can be named after a New South Wales District Court judge rejected a bid to keep her identity suppressed on June 1. 

The ex-teacher Williams gave birth to her husband’s baby girl behind bars about a month ago.

But she has already been told she will not be able to keep the bub with her in prison, a Fairfax Media report claimed.

Williams had sex with the student in spare classrooms, storage rooms and at her apartment over three months in 2016.

She told her student she was a ‘f***ing monster’ for her actions, messages tendered in court said. 

During one encounter, the pair ate ice cream on her couch and watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit? before having sexual intercourse.   

Half an hour later, the 33-year-old married teacher and her 17-year-old student got bored and decided to do it again, court papers said.

In February, Williams was jailed by Judge Paul Lakatos for at least seven months, wht judge describing the couple as a pair of ‘lost souls’.

The victim felt ‘harassed, stalked and dominated’ by Williams, the court heard. The ex-teacher sobbed during sentencing hearings late last year.

Daily Mail Australia previously revealed the teacher had been warned four times about inappropriate behaviour with students at the school.   

She first met with the school in September 2013 – more than two years before she had sex with the boy – to be reminded of the school’s child protection policy.

She was sent a letter by the school setting out the policy in detail the next day.

That policy stated: ‘You must not in any communication with boys of the school, written or spoken, or electronic, make any sexual references or use terms with obvious sexual connotations…’

‘This prohibition includes jokes, anecdotes and other matters and covers all contexts in which you engage with boys, including classes, tutorials… and private conversations.’

The next month, the teacher again met with the school following a complaint about her inappropriate behaviour towards students and was warned about a ‘pattern’ relating to her actions.

At the end of 2014 the teacher was reprimanded by the school for forming an ‘overly close pastoral role’ with a male student with a mental health problem.

According to court documents, the school and the teacher ‘discussed how to avoid students looking to her for special support’.

‘She was advised of the need for a more professional approach and was reminded that the school permits use of phones strictly on school business for contact only as necessary.’

Despite all those warnings, the woman began having sex with a 17-year-old student in January 2016 and continued to do so for about three months. 

She even wrote in a report to his parents that he was a ‘delight to teach’. 

Later, at court, Williams revealed she knew what she had done was wrong and felt ‘enduring shame’.  

HOW DID THE SCHOOL BOY RESPOND TO HIS TEACHER?

Mon 25.4.16 at 10.49am

The boy: I’m sorry that it’s been so hard on you. I really am. It’s been hard on me too, but that period was largely staggered before yours. I don’t think I have it in me to help you get through this, and I know it’s especially difficult on one’s own, but I’m afraid that’s how it’s going to be. I’ve taken a destructive approach to remembering our past, but that’s what’s helpful for me to get through it. Keep all the memories you want, if that’s a key to your happiness. 

But this shouldn’t change how you would approach or treat me, because we have to move on. Look at me as another face in the crowd. I won’t be looking back with malice, or a wish to distance myself from you. We did both love each other for a time and I’m not forgetting that. This isn’t a gesture of friendship, because while not distancing myself, I shan’t make attempts towards the opposite either. 

Call it compassion if you want, but that makes it sound like you’re a victim here, which isn’t a particularly helpful approach, nor accurate, in my mind. Please try to be happy. There’s no realistic cause for paranoia, because I can assure you any danger to you is gone. But that relies on us moving on, and I really hope you can do that. 

Because you are a fantastic person, a fantastic teacher and you bring light to the world through your passion for what you do. Don’t let that end up being collateral damage for love lost, or bridges burned. We’ve got to be constructive here. I know that’s the hardest part, but believe me when I say I’m struggling with that too. But that’s no reason to not. 

Fight the good fight. Do it because it’s hard, and because it’s important. I believe in you, and I believe you can. I will be here to reach out to, but very infrequently I must stress. Any more ends up being counter-intuitive, and the cause of pain. Pick yourself up, and the pieces, if you have to. If there are any more helpful clichés I haven’t thought of, think of them yourself. Better yet, make a list.
