UK: Married schoolteacher, 35, 'had sex in field with pupil she sent topless photos to...'
Article here. Excerpt:
'A married teacher had sex in a field with a pupil then said she would 'bring him down' if he ever told anyone, a court heard today.
Kandice Barber was previously found guilty of sending topless photos and a video of herself to the 15-year-old boy, jurors heard today.
She is now up on trial again accused of three counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child, a more serious offence.
...
In one message read out to jurors, the boy claimed Barber had threatened to 'bring him down' if he told anyone about their relationship, which he took to mean that she would accuse him of rape.
Mr Milne said: 'Kandice Barber, an adult, was having sex with a child under the age of 16 and it makes not a jot of difference to the law, the fact that she was a she and he was a he. The law applies equally to men and to women and that is what this case is all about.'
