Story here. Excerpt:

'A FEMALE religious education teacher was jailed for 32 months today for having sex with a teen pupil she seduced on Facebook.

Mum-of-two Madeleine Martin, 39, admitted having an eight-day long sexual relationship with the 15-year-old in February.

Martin — who taught at a school in Greater Manchester — bought the lad gifts including a mobile phone and arranged for the pair to get tattoos together, a court heard.

They soon embarked on a sordid affair — driving to remote car parks and meeting at Martin's home for sex.

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 was told.

A "mutual decision" by Martin and the boy ended the relationship in February — but two months later the teen told his parents who went to the police.

Jennifer Birch, prosecuting, told the court the teenager has since quit school because he "suffered taunting".'
