Australian Music Teacher Pleads Guilty to Child Sexual Abuse Charges

An Australian music teacher has pleaded guilty to multiple serious criminal charges after admitting to unlawful sexual contact with a male student who was under the age of consent at the time of the offences.

Naomi Tekea Craig, a former music teacher in Western Australia, appeared before court where she entered guilty pleas to a range of child sexual abuse offences. The court heard that the victim was a minor when the abuse occurred and that Craig was in a position of trust as his teacher.

Authorities have confirmed that Craig later gave birth to a child, and police stated that DNA testing indicates the child’s father is the victim. The matter has been treated as a significant breach of duty and trust, with prosecutors emphasising the long-term harm such crimes can cause to young victims.

Craig was charged following an investigation by Western Australia Police, which began after concerns were raised about inappropriate conduct. She has since been removed from her teaching role and is no longer permitted to work with children.

The case has been committed to a higher court for sentencing, where Craig faces the possibility of a substantial prison term. The judge noted the seriousness of the offences and the vulnerability of the victim, stating that such conduct by educators represents a profound abuse of authority.

Officials have reiterated the importance of safeguarding children within educational settings and encouraged anyone with concerns about abuse to report them to authorities. Support services remain available for victims of sexual abuse and their families.
