A MARRIED teacher from Prestwich, who was cleared of raping a 17-year-old girl he admitted having sex with, now faces a fight to save his career.
Lee Savage, 31-year-old head of history at Sharples School, now faces a disciplinary inquiry to be conducted by school governors.
Mr Savage, who is still suspended from his job, walked free from court holding his wife Lindsay's hand after being cleared of raping and indecently assaulting a 17-year-old girl. Education chiefs in Bolton today confirmed an inquiry will be conducted by governors. They are likely to meet as soon as possible.
Mr Savage today refused to speak to reporters who had gathered outside his modern semi-detached home in Roseland Drive, Prestwich.
The curtains were drawn and Mr Savage and his wife Lindsay refused to come to the door.
However, shortly before lunchtime, the casually dressed couple ran out of the front door and jumped into their T-registered VW Polo and drove off to an unknown destination.
