A PE teacher at a Birmingham school has gone on trial accused of sexually abusing a former pupil at a hotel. It is alleged Shakeel Ahmed, 45, also molested another student during football games.
Ahmed has denied two charges of sexual activity with a child by a person in a position of trust and sexual assault.
Rebecca Wade, prosecuting at Birmingham Crown Court, said: “The prosecution case is that the defendant abused the trust placed in him in his capacity as a teacher and ultimately abused two teenage boys.”
She said the victim had left school but later bumped into the defendant and they had exchanged numbers.
They met on a number of occasions when Ahmed would be “over familiar”, hugging him and kissing him on the cheek, said Miss Wade.
The court heard that on July 19 the defendant had allegedly offered to take the victim to Manchester for a football tour and to watch a film.
But Miss Wade said the victim was “surprised” that Ahmed had only booked one room with a double bed at their hotel. When they went into the room the defendant began to take his clothes off and lay down on the bed and asked the victim to undress too, she said.
Miss Wade said Ahmed had then asked the victim about how he needed to practice how to kiss his future wife, before giving him a “passionate” kiss.
Miss Wade said they went into the city for a meal and to the cinema and Ahmed told the victim they were going to “practice” again when they got back to the room but the victim refused .
Miss Wade said the victim later told an aunt what had happened to him.
The court heard a second complainant later claimed Ahmed would mark him during football games in PE and touch him indecently.
When arrested and interviewed, Ahmed denied sexually abusing either of the alleged victims.
The case continues.
