Teacher Arrested for Alleged Grooming of Minor

According to court documents, a 28-year-old supply teacher named Ammy Singleton was taken into custody before Christmas last year for allegedly attempting to make a child amenable to sexual activity.

The alleged offense is said to have occurred in Port Augusta, South Australia, between November 1 and 30 of the same year.

Prosecutors requested additional time to gather evidence and meet with the alleged victim and family members. The accused’s lawyer, David McLeod, argued that the 12-week period sought by the prosecution was excessive.

Singleton, who was described as a “sporting role model,” was detained on December 23 last year and appeared in court on February 14. She is expected to appear in court again on July 20.

The head of a Port Augusta school sent a letter to parents of students, informing them of the arrest. In the letter, the principal assured parents that the incident did not involve any students at the school, and there was no cause for concern regarding the safety of their children.

“Ms Singleton has bail conditions that prevent her from engaging in any child-related work. If you have any concerns about the safety and welfare of your child, please feel free to contact me directly at the school.”
