A drag queen nursery teacher has been charged over "indecent" online messages after kids reported him to paedophile hunters . The man, who we cannot name for legal reasons, was arrested after police were called to the Paisley area on Thursday, October 30. The 32-year-old, who has been working at a nursery in the town, has also been known to perform on the adult entertainment circuit. The Record understands that the charges are not relating to children that were in his care. He has since been sacked from his teaching role. Jo Drennan, 37, runs the Fighting Justice Against Predators organisation. She said the group were at a separate protest in the Johnstone area when they were approached by a number of children on Wednesday October 30. Speaking to the Record, Jo said: "Our group were out at a protest when some wee boys came up to us. They said they were getting groomed online. "All the kids knows us in Renfrewshire. They know we are there to keep them safe and they trust us. "One of the wee boys then sent us quite a lot of stuff. I immediately became aware that this man was a nursery teacher and the things that I was seeing were absolutely horrific. "I phoned the police and the nursery and then he was arrested." The man was charged in connection with indecent online communications before he was released on an undertaking to appear at court at a later date. Drennan reports that the allegations against the man relating to children under 15 but that none of the incidents involve children that were in the care of the nursery. She added: "This is still a major safeguarding concern and it's very alarming that this man was working with young children. "If I was a parent of a child at that nursery, I would be going off my head." A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A 32-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with indecent online communications after officers were called to the Paisley area on Thursday, 30 October, 2025. He was released on an undertaking to appear at court at a later date.” Management at the nursery confirmed to the Record that the man's employment has now been terminated. They declined to comment any further.
