A schoolteacher who had highly sexualised conversations online with teenage girls has been jailed for 2½ years. The fake profile told him she was afraid to do this in case her mother would shout at her. He later told the profile “I could bring you to the beach and we could stay at a hotel overnight. Between February and April 2016 he had highly sexualised conversations and exchanged explicit images with a 16-year-old girl. For two weeks in February 2016 Ganley also had sexualised conversations with another teenage girl.
