A teacher in Hornchurch, Essex, is banned from teaching for life after making sexual and inappropriate comments to a schoolgirl, multiple reports say. The man, Daniel Duhig, is described as asking the teenager whether she was a virgin and making remarks about wanting to “join her in bed,” according to the accounts.

The reporting includes additional allegations about comments that the girl “thinks she would be good” and suggestions she must be “popular with boys.” The sources agree on the core conduct leading to the ban, but they provide limited detail beyond the remarks and the resulting lifetime classroom prohibition. The case is presented as involving misconduct toward a minor, with the punishment reflecting a finding severe enough to remove the individual from teaching permanently.
