Mrs Graham’s husband, Andrew Wilkie, who is training to enter the clergy, represented her at the hearing
New photo implicating a devout christian teacher accused of having intimate relationship with a school boy has emerged. The photo shows the teacher in bed while one of her pupils stands at the door.
The Sun reports that Isabelle Graham, 28, is accused of sleeping with a 17-year-old pupil in a budget hotel after downing four glasses of wine.
But the devout Christian told a hearing: “I’m the victim” and says her drink must have been spiked.
It’s claimed the devout Christian and the schoolboy were alone for three hours following the lad’s leavers’ night in Edinburgh city centre. And it’s alleged the former Miss “repeatedly engaged in sexual activity” with the pupil as well as boozing and being in bed with him.
A friend who was supposed to be sharing the Travelodge room with the boy claims he came back several times to find Miss Graham there. The man took a photo to prove his point.
A probe was launched when senior staff at Whitburn Academy, West Lothian, became aware of the pic on social media. Describing the snap at a General Teaching Council for Scotland hearing yesterday, council investigator Fraser Thomson said: “You can see there what appears to be a lady in the bed there.

"The colour of the picture showed the lady with long blonde hair.”
But, the woman has claimed her drink must have been drugged on the night out in June 2014 and that she was a practising Christian who was waiting until she was married before having s*x. Graham revealed that she had no recollection of events of that night.
Referring to the photo, she said: “The person in the bed is clearly not in control of the situation.”
According to reports, Miss Graham now lives in Aldershot, Hants, and uses her married name Shona Wilkie.
Her husband Andrew Wilkie, who is training to become a clergyman, acted as her representative at the hearing. In a statement to the panel, he said: “In all the time I have known her, Miss Graham has always put her Christian faith above all other things.
“I have never had any doubt that the allegations made against Miss Graham were false.”
The ex-teacher had tried to have the hearing held in private but her attempt was rejected. She resigned from Whitburn Academy after the alleged incident happened.
The hearing continues.
