A teacher has been charged with sexually assaulting several schoolgirls in their teens, police said.

Muhammad Taimoor, who works at a school in Birmingham, is accused of sexually assaulting four girls.

Two of the alleged victims are 15, one is 14 and the other is a 16-year-old, West Midlands Police said.

The force added that it is alleged that some of the assaults happened while Taimoor was at work.

He has also been charged with four counts of causing or inciting child sexual exploitation, sexual activity while in a position of trust, and two counts of trafficking within the UK.

The latter two charges relate to accusations that he drove girls around in his car with the intention of sexually assaulting them, police said.
