A \"pathological liar\" who forged qualifications to get a job as a teacher has been jailed for 18 months. <\/p>\n
Julia Rawlinson, 45, faked documents including a doctorate to get a biology teaching job at Westlands School in Torquay, Exeter Crown Court was told. <\/p>\n
Rawlinson, of Brixham, Devon, admitted false representation and forgery. <\/p>\n
Judge Philip Wassall told her: \"You created layer upon layer of lies and blighted everyone you taught. There was not a single sign of regret.\" <\/p>\n
The court heard Rawlinson's forged documents included a masters degree in science psychology and a doctorate of science psychology from Glasgow Caledonian University and a BSc in Biochemistry from the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa. <\/p>\n
Staff at the school became suspicious and called the police. <\/p>\n
Rawlinson had portrayed herself as chief examiner for A-level biology with Edexcel and had helped the school before summer 2011 with A-level biology project work. <\/p>\n
She had been taken on as a temporary part-time staff member on 1 September of last year and her employment at Westlands was terminated early the next month. <\/p>\n
Lee Bremridge, defending Rawlinson, said she was a \"pathological liar who created a lie and came to believe it\". <\/p>\n
