A married teacher at South Africa’s poshest private school has been sacked after allegedly romping with at least five pupils.
Former model Fiona Viottia, 30, is also reported to have sent the lads a series of explicit videos that were later posted online and are now featured on porn sites world-wide. Following the probe into her sexual frolics with a teenage boy, four other boys believed to be past and present pupils came forward.
They said they had sex with the recently married teacher at the all-boys elite fee paying school, which has been dubbed South Africa’s version of Britain’s Eton College. The inquiry discovered she had been bedding boys for at least six years both before and after she had been married – targeting pupils who were over the age of consent.
Recently married Fiona, 30, who taught at the Bishops Diocesan College in Cape Town, allegedly had sexual contact with a number of others. Since her raunchy affairs have been exposed has been admitted twice to a psychiatric clinic for treatment.
Pornographic videos and topless and naked photographs that the teacher is alleged to have sent by WhatsApp to the boys she targeted. One shows a woman on her back topless and performing a sex act on herself, though her face is unseen. Another shows her lying on her back in sexy black lingerie as she undresses.
In both videos distinctive rings belonging to Viotti can clearly be seen on the woman’s left hand. The school mistress who taught history and water polo was forced to quit after the parents of an 18-year-old boy complained after their son told them he had been pestered for sex.
A parent told IOL website: “He was a willing participant in the beginning but became a victim when he couldn’t get out of it. The teacher started texting him to come to her house on the campus and that’s how it started but it got to the stage where he had had enough. But the teacher wouldn’t let him go and he went to his parents for help and they went to the headmaster and now it is all coming out.”
Her shocked husband Pavo Viotti, 32, who has a top venture capital and private equity company in Cape Town, is said to have separated from his wife of 14 months over the scandal. He has refused to comment. The South African Police Service have not been involved as criminal charges have not been laid as the schoolboy is two years over the age of consent and no laws seem to have been broken. A school source said: “It would appear this is not a criminal matter but one of gross misconduct between a teacher who has stepped over a clear line and it is a matter for the school to handle. They have appointed a senior lawyer who is independent of the school to ensure the matter is investigated properly”.
The investigation published a report today in which is confirmed the school mistress had been in engaged in sexual misconduct with at least five pupils but will not be disciplined because she has already resigned. The headmaster Guy Pearson said the report confirmed the school had never been aware of the teachers sexual shenanigans with her pupils which took place between 2013 and 2019 before and after she was married. Her father, Dave Mallett, is also a history teacher at the school from which she was fired, while her grandfather Anthony is a former headmaster of 18 years.
