The former Great Yarmouth rapist teacher is prohibited from the profession

A former teacher imprisoned for life for sexual crimes against children has been forbidden to return to the profession.

In 2023, a judge of the Crown Court of Norwich sentenced Richard Cosburn, 58, at least 12 years in prison for 23 crimes, including rape.

Now the Teaching Regulation Agency (TR) has forbidden to teach at any school, University of Sixth Form, relevant youth accommodation or children’s home in England.

TO Bad -brought panel observed That Cosburn, whose speech when he was sentenced was Mill Road, Great Yarmouth, showed no “evidence of information and remorse.”

The 58 -year -old, who last taught at Great Yarmouth, had worked in several teaching roles from 1995 to 2019.

He had carried out his attacks, which were not in the students, for a period of 15 years between 2001 and 2016. He was arrested in October 2020.

During the MALE AUDIENCE of the TR, the panel ruled that Cosburn’s actions had been “calculated and motivated.”

He also concluded that the severity of Cosburn’s offense was relevant for his continuous suitability to teach, and “raised obvious and significant public and child protection concerns.”

The panel said that Cosburn would not be allowed to appeal against the ban at any time in the future.
