Sydney Teacher Accused of Sexual Assault Against Student, Leading Husband to Heartbreaking Act Outside Court
In a recent court hearing, Tayla Lee Brailey, a 30-year-old teacher in Australia, faced charges of sexual abuse against a 17-year-old student. Brailey appeared via video link from the Amber Laurel Correctional Centre, while her husband and parents expressed distress during the proceedings. The prosecutor described the evidence against her as substantial, noting that Brailey allegedly made spontaneous admissions to police and allowed access to her phone, which contained pertinent materials for the case. The charges against her include sexual touching and aggravated sexual assault, allegedly occurring between July 1 and July 26, with a specific incident on July 26 involving sexual intercourse with a person under her care.
The magistrate granted Brailey bail under strict conditions, including residing at her parents’ home, being escorted when leaving, adhering to a curfew, surrendering her passport, and staying away from the school. Investigations into her connections with other students and further forensic examinations of the victim’s phone and car are ongoing.

“Spontaneous admissions were made by the defendant when spoken to by police,” Hillery said.
“The defendant, when spoken to, allowed access to her mobile phone, and through that, the prosecution and detectives obtained further material which assists the case,” Hillery said.
“She (allegedly) acknowledges her wrongdoing, that it is inappropriate and continued down that path, so far as informing the complainant not to speak to anyone about what was happening prior to the alleged incident occurring,” Hillery said.
Brailey has worked for the New South Wales Department of Education since October 2017.
Abdul-Karim allowed Brailey out on bail.
She was allowed out of jail on the condition that she stay at her parents’ house, only leave when escorted by a parent, abide by a curfew, surrender her passport and avoid the area of the school, according to the Daily Mail.
During the hearing, the court was told Brailey admitted she connected with two other students on social media, which police are now investigating, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
Videos found on the victim’s phone are also being examined.
Police are also conducting a forensic examination of his car, the court was told.
Court documents said charges against Brailey of sexual touching and aggravated sexual assault allegedly took place between July 1 and July 26.
The charge of sexual intercourse with a person under her care is alleged to have taken place on July 26.
