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.

1.01 if the teacher is blonde and pretty she will escape being called a PAEDO by the tabloids, just like the so-called lesbian teacher that the redtops had the hots for a few weeks ago.

Yes, it's becoming a monthly occurrence now, but mysteriously none of these sex offenders have yet to be called a PAEDO by Fleet Street's Paedo Squad. Why's that I wonder?

overboard 25 Nov 17:40 Just after I left school at 18, I started**ging an English teacher aged 32 from the school down the road. She was the horniest and most demanding female I have ever met . To be honest, I packed it in through exhaustion.
I had a very similar situation except the fact she was 27 and I was 26

I wish Id had a teacher like that. Had to wait years after 15 before I lost my virginity - that caused a lot more emotional anguish I can tell that stupid judge !

A predatory female preying on a minor and some of you are pleased about it. Presumably, all things being equal, if the teacher was male that would be ok too.

When I was 15 I copped of with my Biology teacher we arranged to consumate our relationship at her house,she was very shy and whilst undressing she apologised for the time it was taking to remove her corsets I immediately told her not to worry as I had fooked my dads donkey with his harness on loads of times!!!!!!

The overriding stench of poncing parents is one which pervades these cases.
Parents find out son is boning teacher,instead of a slap on the back and a "well done son" it's £££' signs and dreams of compo and NOTW stories.
If the kid was 12 or somat ok but 15 ffs..give it a rest.
This would have been a great badge of honour back in the day now it's "emotionally hurtful" and to think how brave the poor lamb was giving evdience against the admittedley dopey b1int

Well I think they are. So if your 15 year old daughter get's it off with her male teacher - all hunky dory then. You cannot proclaim one rule good enough for one sex but not the other, just because it appeals to you.

Any grown man who shafts a girl of 15 should be locked up and grown women should not be exempt from the same law.
I've no time for men of about 40 who seduce girls of 15 so I don't see why I should feel different about females of about 40 who take advantage of the raging hormones in schoolboys.
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.
This cow even got him branded with her name. Worth another 10 years, that.

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.
i guess if i was gay (i'm not btw) i wouldn't go shouting from the rooftops if i was on the recieving end of about 50 black blokes in a weekend. if i was giving it out though? i'd be a legend.

I might have children one day and I'll be damned if any middle aged pervert (either sex) will get their end away with them while they're 15 years old, consent of the children notwithstanding.
You appear to think that only girls can be abused. You are wrong.

female techers were a rarity in my day at high school.I once saw my art teachers nipple.It gave me a hard on for years.ahahhahaha but wait was I lethargic and losing interest in hobbies because of this? The victim must be gay.

Maybe if he was ren or eleven i might agree about her being locked up.
However fifteen is old enough imo. He was obviously sexually ready or she wouldnt of picked him out , and he wouldnt of been up for it.
I daresay his lack of interest in life has more to do with all the hullabaloo and extreme show up due to have such mad parents

Of course you can. So you would be happy if your son skipped around the playground in a skirt with his hair in pigtails and put on eyeliner and lip gloss in his spare time because it is ok for girls to do it?

If the pervert had got pregnant, the lad would have had to pay child support for years. Maybe that was her intention, who knows.
For all those who support her, would you say the same if it had been a 40-year-old man who had gay sex with the boy?

Yes Bill, I can see the sense in that. If I was a woman who wanted to get pregnant to gain child support money I think I would opt for the schoolboy with either a paper round or just pocket money rather than someone older with a job and savings.

"I daresay his lack of interest in life has more to do with all the hullabaloo and extreme show up due to have such mad parents"
Or maybe it's because he's a fking 15 year old. I particularly liked the "he's become lethargic" bit.

Would you still be on the teacher's side if it were a man, Roger?
As for the child support, it could happen. It's happened elsewhere. That female is devious, she even organised getting her own kids of about the same age out of the house so she could bring the boy in.

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.

Even if he were 18, it would be illegal. She was his teacher, she was in a position of power. As for the boy being partly to blame, the judge was right to point out that he was in no way culpable.
If females want equality then they must get it in full. No half measures, no chivalry, no special pleading.

you seem to think of it only from your own sexualised point of view.
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.

This is not so much a comment on the act itself (although the gender argument is unsustainable) as a signal that teachers are in a particular legal situation where their pupils are concerned.
