A substitute teacher who worked at primary schools and high schools in Adelaide has been charged with child sex offences.
Parents at four schools across Adelaide's eastern suburbs were yesterday alerted that the 51-year-old relief teacher was arrested over alleged child sex crimes.
He has taught in at least four schools in Adelaide's eastern suburbs, including Stradbroke School, Marryatville High School, Charles Campbell College and East Adelaide School.

Families were alerted to the teacher's alleged child sex crimes through an identical letter sent out by the schools' principals.
The letter stated there was "no evidence at this stage that any child at our school is involved".
"However, I am concerned ... because students may have had contact with the temporary teacher," it read.
The man has been banned from school sites and engaging in any child-related work while police continue their investigation.
But parents yesterday said they remained worried about their children' s safety.
"I feel a bit concerning [sic] but it's good to know, I guess, they've acted on it," parent Christine Lim told 9News.
The man, from Adelaide's north-eastern suburbs, has been bailed to appear in court in February.
