Vice charge ex-teacher in court
A former PE teacher from Kent has appeared in court with his wife charged with controlling prostitution for gain.

Tim and Emma Blake-Bowell, aged 46 and 35, of Canterbury, were arrested in December as part of a wider police investigation into the sex trade.

The offences are alleged to have been committed between 31 October and 14 December last year.

At the city's magistrates court the pair were granted bail and ordered to reappear at the court on 21 May.

Mr Blake-Bowell was suspended from his post at King Ethelbert School, a mixed comprehensive in Birchington, near Margate, following his arrest.

He no longer works at the school.
