Married PE teacher Tayla Brailey – accused of having sex with schoolboys – faces explosive new allegations about shower videos

A married PE teacher accused of sexually abusing teenage boys has dismissed questions about the allegations as details about further new charges against her are revealed.

Flanked by her parents and sister, Tayla Brailey, 30, kept her head down and tightly held onto her sister as she walked into Campbelltown Local Court on Wednesday.

Brailey has been on bail since she was charged in August after allegedly sexually abusing two students – aged between 16 and 17 – who she met while working at a school in Sydney’s south west.

Her mother protectively placed a hand on her back as media peppered her with questions about the allegations.  

Brailey was initially arrested over allegations relating to a 17-year-old boy, before being charged with new offences ten days later when police allegedly uncovered messages relating to a 16-year-old on her phone.

According to police documents tendered to court, Brailey allegedly sent the 16-year-old boy videos of herself performing sex acts in the shower, and writing: ‘I’m horny for you’.

She also allegedly told him not to tell anyone about their conversations because she was worried about her husband finding out. 

In another incident, she allegedly masturbated the teen in her classroom, then tried to lure him into having sex with her by pulling down her pants and underwear.

In court on Wednesday, Brailey’s lawyer Abbas Soukie asked Magistrate Rana Daher for a four-week adjournment.

The defence said it was yet to receive the brief of evidence from the prosecution despite ‘repeated attempts to contact the officer in charge’.

Mr Soukie also said he intended to put in an application to vary Brailey’s bail, but the documents could not be submitted without consultations with the prosecution. 

Magistrate Daher adjourned the case and agreed to Mr Soukie’s request that his client not have to be present at the next court hearing.

As reporters left the court, Brailey’s father waved his hand while her mother scoffed: ‘Here go the superstars’.  

Brailey was arrested over her first alleged victim – a 17-year-old boy – on August 6 and charged with sexual touching, sexual intercourse with a person under care, and aggravated sexual assault.

Brailey married her partner in September last year after getting engaged in December, 2021

According to police documents tendered in court, Brailey allegedly had sex with the teenager in a car near the school before going to a chemist to get the morning-after pill.

She also allegedly sent him sexually-explicit videos and performed a sex act on him at her marital home in West Wollongong in front of one of the boy’s friends.  

According to court documents, she was also allegedly sexually abusing the 16-year-old boy around the same time.

Police will allege the classroom sex act incident with the 16-year-old boy occurred on July 25 – one day before she had sex with the 17-year-old in the car. 

In total, she has been charged with six offences relating to the 16-year-old: Trying to incite sexual intercourse with a person under care, sexually touching a person under care, inciting a person under care to sexually touch, and soliciting, accessing and possessing or controlling child abuse material.

In a court hearing following her second arrest, her previous lawyer Patrick Schmidt told the court his client strenuously denied the allegations.

He said she had seen a doctor and was given a preliminary diagnosis of bipolar disorder, which he said sometimes carries traits of ‘hypersexuality.  

Brailey’s arrest came just 11 months after she married her longtime partner in a lavish ceremony at The Grange Golf Club in Wollongong.

Under her strict bail conditions, Brailey must live at her parents’ Wollongong home, only leave the residence if accompanied by one of them, abide by a 9pm to 7am curfew, and report to police three times a week.

She is also barred from accessing social media, entering Lurnea, contacting her alleged victims or any prosecution witnesses, being on any educational facility, or being in the presence of a minor unless the child is in the company of a parent or guardian.

Brailey is next due to face Campbelltown Local Court on October 30.
