Teacher jailed for sex with boy, 15

A FEMALE religious education teacher at a school in Greater Manchester has been jailed for 32 months for having sex with a pupil she seduced on Facebook.

Madeleine Martin, 39, admitted having a sexual relationship with the 15-year-old boy which lasted for eight days in February.

Martin, of Knutsford, Cheshire, bought him gifts including a mobile phone and they agreed to get tattoos, Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court heard.

Jennifer Birch, prosecuting, said: “She drove them to a retail park and they participated in consensual sexual intercourse.”

Martin, who is divorced with two teenage daughters, set up a Facebook account under a fake name to stop the relationship being discovered, the court heard.
