Woman teacher at private boys' school charged over sexual activity with a pupil (UK)
Daily News ^

A female teacher at a private boys' school has been charged with sexual activity involving a sixth-form pupil. Classics mistress Hannah McIntyre, 24, is accused of abusing a position of trust and sexual activity with a child. The teacher, a keen musician, was suspended from Merchant Taylors' Boys' School, in Crosby, Merseyside, following her arrest in January. Yesterday police confirmed she had been charged with sexual misconduct with one pupil, and will appear in court later this month. Although sixth-form students are above the age of consent, it is a criminal offence for teachers to engage in sexual activity with them because of the 'relationship of trust'. Miss McIntyre joined the school in September 2007, and according to its website she is 'an able musician'.

She was arrested in January on suspicion of engaging in sexual activity with sixth-formers away from the premises of the £8,000-a-year school. The offence was alleged to have taken place outside school hours about a year earlier. After being questioned she was granted bail while further inquiries were made, and she was immediately suspended. She has now been charged in relation to one of the boys. Last night headmaster David Cook said: 'Merchant Taylors' Boys' School can confirm that a member of its senior school teaching staff has been charged by Merseyside Police. 'This relates to an incident of alleged misconduct which took place some 18 months ago away from the school site and outside school hours, involving sixth-form students. 'As this is now a matter for the courts, the school cannot comment further. 'The school will continue to cooperate fully with the appropriate agencies, as our first priority remains the safeguarding of all our students.' Merchant Taylors', which was founded in 1620, has 630 pupils, including 150 sixth-formers.

It’s a bit difficult to judge with the big shades and no body shot, but right now I’m thinking life imprisonment.

“mistress Hannah McIntyre, 24, is accused of abusing a position “

I suppose that depends on which position they used.
