A Norfolk head teacher has been jailed for harassing a young woman trainee at his school.
Gregory Hill, 48, of Valley Way, Fakenham, was convicted of an offence of harassment without the fear of violence following a four-day trial at Great Yarmouth Magistrates' Court on Thursday, 18th July 2024.
He was also convicted of an offence of resisting a police constable in the execution of their duties.
Hill was sentenced at Norwich Magistrates' Court on Thursday, 8th August 2024.
Harassment without the fear of violence is an offence under section 2 of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. It has a maximum sentence on summary conviction of 26 weeks' custody and/or an unlimited fine.
I described Hill's offences in my earlier article. Briefly, over a period of eleven months he made a series of unwanted advances towards a recently qualified teacher working at his school, Howard Junior School in King's Lynn.
Hill's behaviour turned more sinister when he eventually got the message that the young woman wasn't interested in a romantic relationship with him.
A second woman, who had worked as a teacher at one of Hill's former schools, told the court that he had once approached her with his flies down and offered to "unleash the beast". He had also told her: "I want your legs wrapped around me."
Hill was granted conditional bail following his conviction, but within a few days was remanded in custody for breaching his conditions.
District Judge Christopher Williams, sentencing, described Hill's convictions as a "significant and spectacular fall from grace".
He added: "Even now you fail to realise how wrong your behaviour was. You are an obsessive individual and you abused the power you held."
Hill was sentenced to 12 weeks' custody.
He was also made subject to a 4-year stalking protection order, which prohibits him from contacting the complainant or publishing comments online about her.
Update (16/5/25): Prompted by a recent comment by a member of the Gregory Hill fan club (see below), I have just discovered that the disgraced former headteacher has been in further trouble with the court since his July 2024 harassment conviction.
In October 2024 he admitted a further three offences of sending messages for the purposes of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety. These are offences under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003. You can read more about Hill's conviction here.
In January 2025, having only been released from custody a few days earlier, Hill posted photographs of his July 2024 victim online. He admitted a breach of his stalking protection order and was jailed for a further 6 months. Apparently Hill, who clearly couldn't lie straight in bed at night, told the police he was "not aware" of the existence of the order. You can read more about Hill's conviction here.

Utter load of corrupt rubbish. He was set up.
This is utter corrupt rubbish. Mr Hill was set up. What utter untrue crap you write.
Thanks for your comments Greg. The account I've written is the account you were convicted on, so suck it up.
You should write the next Harry Potter book your work is fantasy. Get a life you corrupt little worm.
Back again Greg? Have you not got any supply work or anything you can be getting on with?
I'd be grateful if you could leave another comment as soon as you find out when your TRA misconduct hearing is.
If you haven't heard from the TRA already, I'm sure you will do very shortly.
I'll look forward to watching the proceedings online and writing about them here.
Stalker behaviour. Sad person.
When you work out that our Mr Hill has retired and is wealthy enough to do so. No one actually cares about news about Mr Hill and your sad paper sales are reaching rock bottom you will get a job in Tesco’s stacking shelves where you belong! Ha! Who cares about your silly news? Years old news.
Sure Greg, whatever you say.
I'm getting bored of you now, so I'm closing the comments.
