Sally-Anne Bowen

Sally-Anne Bowen, 65, of Hemel Hempstead, was found guilty of seven counts of indecent assault following a trial at Harrow Crown Court on August 27, 2026. The offences occurred in the late 1980s when Bowen was a chemistry teacher at Christ’s College in Finchley, and the complainants were pupils aged approximately 14 to 15. The court heard evidence regarding sexual encounters and inappropriate classroom behavior during that period.

The jury returned majority verdicts finding Bowen guilty after deliberating for over six hours. Throughout the trial, Bowen denied the allegations, characterizing them as a fabrication and citing a medical condition. She remains on bail and is scheduled to return for a sentencing hearing on November 20, 2026.
