A 31-year-old high school teacher pleaded guilty in Perth Magistrates Court today to multiple charges of sexual and indecent dealings with children under his care.
Delmar Evans of Gosnells admitted to sexually penetrating and dealing indecently with four different girls under his care between September 2005 and November this year.
The victims were aged between 15 and 17 years old.
Child Protection Squad Detectives arrested and charged Evans on November 16 this year.
The assaults took place in and around Perth’s southern suburbs where Evans worked as a high school teacher.
Evans will remain in custody until February 22 when he will appear in the District Court for sentencing.

Hi there. I was at the School when these events took place and I'm so glad to hear that you are slowly healing and trying to move forward. I worked directly with Delmar and initially found him friendly, funny and charasmatic, but I was eventually able to see through the fascade and found him intimidating and an emotional manipulator as time went by. In hindsight he made me feel uneasy, but I couldn't put my finger on why. Of course as an adult it took a while to come to these conclusions, but for a vulnerable teenager it's a lot harder to judge these things.
ReplyDeleteWhen I heard the news I was saddened, as i had spoken to a few female students who he appeared to be quite close with him. I felt sick thinking about and I wonder if you were one of the students I crossed paths with at the time?
I'm not sure if you will ever see this, but stay strong and try to keep positive even in the darkest times. Goodluck with everything.
A few years ago I bumped into Delmar Evans. I was suppose to be trained up as a powder coater. My trainer just so happened to be this man. If I knew what he did I would have never taken the job. Reading the comment of the victim. This doesn't surprise me. He manipulated me emotionally and made me quit within 2 weeks. He didn't even train me and used me to sweep floors and do a 3 man job by myself. It was horrible. He started lecturing me like a teacher and said he was going to make me study everything and give me tests....for powdercoating.....I found out about his past a week into the job and it really made me uneasy. It turns out he's been afraid of losing his job so he ends up not training new guys properly and they end up quitting for being fed up.
ReplyDeleteOne day he just snapped and told me "This is your final warning" I never received any warnings beforehand and I was still new. I called him out for giving me a "final warning" the minute I said it and he completely denied it. Couldn't even make eye contact with me. I instantly went to HR and management bursting in tears. Management tried to justify his behavior. I left work early and the next day I had a meeting with management, Delmar and a third party present with no HR present. I had no choice but to quit and was bursting in tears again as I thought this job was for me. Delmar did not want to admit fault into his actions. During the conversation he did not make eye contact with me once. I'll give credit where is due, he knows how to cover his own mistakes and speaks in a way that can get himself out of any situation. I know eventually it'll blow up in his face just like his past did.
To the victim I'm really sorry you went through this. I was in my early 20s and he made me feel so little. I can't imagine what you went through. Keep staying strong.
