Vampire academic accused of tasting student’s blood at Welsh university (i News)
Extract:
The blood-tasting claims came in a case lodged at Cardiff Employment Tribunal by Helen Coleman, Dr Williams’s PhD student.
Georgina Calvert-Lee, a senior counsel at McAllister Olivarius who is representing Ms Coleman, told i that the “extraordinary” case came to light after one of Dr Williams’s pupils reported the incident to Ms Coleman, who then “blew the whistle”.
She said: “The bizarre claim of blood being licked, among others, was reported to her and she felt a duty to protect the health and safety of her students by informing the university.”
Ms Coleman alleges this led to her mistreatment at Glyndwr, causing work-related stress.
“All I’ve ever been concerned about is the health and safety of students,” Ms Coleman told the Sunday Times.
