Allegations and evidence
Producers reveal Megan, a PE teacher, had intimate contact with the teenager. She is also said to be expecting his child.
Sam Blakeman attempted to gather proof. He placed a hidden camera in Megan’s flat but was outwitted.
Blackmail and threats
Megan allegedly pressured Sam to remain silent. She warned she would accuse him of voyeurism if he spoke up.
Sam’s collapse and confession
Under immense stress, Sam overdosed on his ADHD medication and needed hospital treatment. Leanne Battersby noticed a worrying exchange.
Leanne urged Sam to tell someone. He then confided in her and in Will’s stepmum, Eva.
Family confrontation and arrest
Eva confronted Megan at the Rovers to hear her side. Megan broke down and claimed embarrassment, calling the situation a teenage crush.
Eva feigned belief while vowing to act later. Ben Driscoll reacted with fury when he learned the truth.
Ben took Will to the police station in hopes the teenager would admit the affair. Will denied the allegations and supported Megan’s account.
The Driscolls later reported the matter to police. Officers attended Weatherfield High and arrested Megan.
Daniel Osbourne, Megan’s boyfriend, was stunned by the arrest. He struggled to accept the reasoning and was given false reassurance with a kiss.
