pupil after a boozy prom claimed her drink had been "spiked" and she could not have sex because she was on her period.Melissa Tweedie, who claims she went to a Premier Inn hotel to check pupils were not taking drugs, may never be able to teach again after a pupil claimed he had sex with her after his school prom at Glasgow's SWG3 warehouse in June 2017.The 27-year-old, who now works as a yoga teacher in Dubai, is also alleged to have danced inappropriately with pupils from Gleniffer High School in Paisley, Renfrewshire.Colleagues said Miss Tweedie was 'shimmying up and down' the 18-year-old pupil at the event before allegedly being found in bed with the pupil at a nearby Premier Inn.Education manager for Renfrewshire Council Susan Bell, who investigated the claims at the time, told the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS) today that Miss Tweedie believed "her drink had been spiked" and she could not have sex as it was her "time of the month".A statement from Miss Tweedie at the time read: "I saw what appeared to be a bag of cocaine waved in my face, it was highly alarming and that is why I did not go home with my flatmate."I should have walked back to tell the other staff and I should have called the police."Pupils were saying 'Miss, come upstairs for a drink, it'll only be one.'

A former aide, Omarosa Manigault Newman, claims to have seen Mr Trump eating paperwork in the Oval Office.Speculation over the missing Mar-a-Lago documents have sparked potential legal trouble for Trump's potential 2024 re-election bid.
