A public school mistress who was “pressured” into a lesbian affair by a 15-year-old pupil will be allowed to continue see the girl after she is released from a 15-month jail term.
Helen Goddard - a music teacher nicknamed “the jazz lady” by pupils - befriended the teenager over coffee after lessons and their relationship eventually became sexual.
Goddard wept as she was jailed today at London’s Southwark Crown Court and placed on the sex offenders' register.
But Judge Anthony Pitts decided not to grant a prosecution request that she be banned from seeing the teenager for five years.

“She describes the pair having feelings for one another, and that that was not planned or expected,” said counsel.
“This developed into them flirting with each other and sending text messages to each other. They went for a walk one day and she describes kissing Ms Goddard on the lips, which Ms Goddard responded to.”
The youngster also spoke of lying to her parents to stay at the trumpet teacher’s home where they shared a bed and kissed.
Further lies and more overnight stays followed as the relationship developed.
Ms Naughton said the pair also had “sexual relations” at her parents’ home.
In June, having declared they “loved each other” the girl told her parents she was going to spend a weekend with a relative in France, the girl and her teacher caught a plane to Paris.

That's pretty much Britain's sense of justice these days.
Same sex is always guilty.
Was that to Penthouse Letters?
Two words - "Rosie O'Donnell"
Two more words - "Chastity Bono" (now Chaz Bono)
Yes, she died far too young. I felt so sorry for Gene Wilder.
When a genius of humor like Gilda passes, the world becomes a bit dimmer for the rest of us.
I repeat:
A registered sex offender is allowed to continue contacting the victim.
Hi therre! ;)
Hey Travis! I had no idea!
It’s all in the embouchure.
for the record, you’re much cuter than the lezbean!
And the UK wants to lower the age of consent to 13???????
I guess there are a few groups in the UK that are pushing for this, one for child brides, the other for school yard lovers....
News to me, honey.
Nobody here bar a tiny handful of nutters wants to reduce the age of consent from 16.
She looks good in cuffs.
The sexual age of consent in Britain is 16. The pupil will be 16 by the time of this teacher’s release. And as a legally sexual adult, there is nothing the law can do to stop them having a relationship.
That’s a good one.
tranny...
