Number One Shoes says it is deeply concerned about Wylie’s alleged offending. As a student teacher in 2020, Wylie had a placement at Freyberg High School in term 2. Principal Peter Brooks said the Education Ministry’s trauma team and police were at the school on Tuesday. It was possible students at the school had been contacted by Wylie, or one of his aliases, on social media asking for pictures of shoes. Brooks said the students felt violated that Wylie had been in their class, potentially looking at their shoes and taking pictures. The school was also wondering how Wylie made it on to the teachers’ college course at Massey University.
