Teacher jailed for sex with pupil

A religious education teacher who had sex with a pupil after seducing him on Facebook has been jailed for 32 months.

Madeleine Martin, 39, of Grassfield Way, Knutsford, had pleaded guilty to 10 counts of sexual activity with the 15-year-old pupil in February.

Manchester Minshull Crown Court heard the affair was so intense she paid for him to have a tattoo of her initials.

The teacher, who taught at a school in Tameside, Greater Manchester, was his learning mentor, the judge heard.

Having first met the boy in September 2008, the pair began communicating via Facebook.

Their friendship soon turned into a passionate affair, Jennifer Birch, prosecuting, told the court.

'Suffered taunting'

"She drove them to a retail park and they participated in consensual sexual intercourse."

They were eventually told to leave by a security guard who saw what they were doing.

The divorced mother-of-two even created a fake Facebook account in a bid to keep their affair a secret, the court heard.

She arranged for her two teenage daughters to be out one night so she could have sex with the boy.


You started to abuse your position of trust. Eventually you lured him into intercourse which should never have happened

Judge Jonathan Geake
The relationship lasted for a matter of days before Martin and the boy decided to end it in a "mutual decision" made in February.

He eventually told his mother about the affair and she immediately reported the matter to police on 20 April.

He has since quit school because he "suffered taunting", and his relationship with his mother has been severely affected, Ms Birch told the court.

"She has seen her vivacious son lose interest in his hobbies. He is very lethargic and has lost the sparkle he once had," she said.

Mark Fireman, defending, said Martin had been at a vulnerable point in her life. She was going through a divorce and her sister had recently died of cancer.

"This was something she fell into. She was in a very vulnerable position, as was he, and she accepts full blame for what happened," he said.

Martin has lost "just about everything", including her job and her friends and she rarely leaves the house, he told the court.

'Emotional scars'

Judge Jonathan Geake said the boy unfortunately has a lasting reminder of their affair in the shape of his tattoo.

He told the defendant: "This is a very sad story for all concerned, not least yourself.

"It is clear your life had come to a very low ebb.

"You started to abuse your position of trust. Eventually you lured him into intercourse which should never have happened."

Martin admitted 10 counts of causing a 15-year-old boy to engage in sexual activity between 9 February 2009 and 16 February 2009, for which she received 32 months per charge to run concurrently.

Det Sgt Dave Moores said: "Martin's actions will leave emotional scars on her victim and his family and have also impacted on the wider community.

"I would like to praise the bravery of the victim in speaking out and ensuring justice was done for him."

Martin has been made to sign the sex offenders register and will remain on it indefinitely.

There was another similar case a few weeks back when the woman was not a teacher and the boy was 15. She got 18 months. The boy was infatuated with her. If I was that boy I would go to the European Human Rights tribunal. They all go on about rights nowadays, so the right of a boy to have sex with an older person should be legal.

Saying that the boy enjoyed it is no excuse. Does anyone still believe that girls don't enjoy it? Children should be protected from themselves and from middle-aged pervs, imo.

any grown man who goes with a 15 yeal old lass should be castrated and killed imo. whoever, if a 15 yr old bloke goes with an older woman there is no problem whatsoever. fair play to the bloke.

the difference is it's the male who always hands out the shafting. it's ALWAYS the woman that is degraded. do you not understand that?? why do you think lads who sleep around are studs, yet girls who sleep around are s luts? for the same reason - it's ALWAYS the girl that is used, degraded, is **ed senseless.

This story echoes the Cate Blanchett film ''Notes on a Scandal'' in case you've never seen it.

What I strongly object to here is the apparent condoning from some of you of underage teen males having sexual relations with older women, as if it's just another notch on the bedpost. This woman's career is ruined, mostly her own fault and I have little sympathy, but the teenager must share part of the blame for possibly encouraging it. He will move on as if nothing's happened, but what for her?

Girls of the same age often have fantasies about older men including their teachers. It's not just the boys. Either way it's wrong for 15 year olds to dally with older people in this way, and shame on some of you for thinking it's all above board. Even if he was 16, it might be legal, but it still wouldn't make it right.

Do you not stop to consider how the mother of the son may feel about her child romping with a woman her own age? Would your wife, the mother of your son be happy with such a situation? Should she be expected to go along with this attitude ''go on get stuck in there'' as you appear to feel about it.

There are other people's feelings involved and I would be very angry with any son of mine who did this, never mind what I might feel about the teacher. It's a quite revolting situation and nothing to bragg about, but I shouldn't be surprised that some of you seem to think it is.
