Scots Teacher Struck Off After Pupils Discover OnlyFans Account

Kirsty Buchan, a former physics teacher at Bannerman High School in Glasgow, was struck off by the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS) after students discovered her explicit OnlyFans account, where she posted under the name Jessica Jackrabbit x. Despite warnings from her headteacher about her poor judgment on social media and her failure to conceal her identity and profession, Buchan continued to promote her adult content openly, which led to widespread knowledge of her account among pupils and staff. The GTCS ruled that her behavior lacked integrity and that she had used her teaching profession as a selling point for her OnlyFans presence. Buchan resigned from her teaching position in December 2022 and did not attend the disciplinary hearing, expressing that she found the ruling heavy-handed and an infringement on freedom of expression, though she acknowledged the consequences. Bannerman High's headteacher described Buchan as enthusiastic and committed but noted she occasionally blurred boundaries regarding her social media openness to pupils. The case sparked significant controversy, with Buchan claiming she earned substantial income from her OnlyFans activity, but school officials emphasized the impact on the school community and students.
