A teacher who featured in the Channel 4 documentary series Educating Cardiff has been given a suspended sentence for sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl.

Gareth Ritter, 44, of Bryngwyn, in Monmouthshire, originally denied the sexual assault charge, but during his trial in October changed his plea to guilty.
