A public school music teacher was yesterday jailed for having a lesbian relationship with a 15-year-old pupil - but told she could continue seeing her when she leaves prison.
A court heard that trumpet mistress Helen Goddard, 26, helped weave a web of lies so the ' vulnerable' girl could stay in her flat overnight, and took her for a weekend in Paris, where they joined a gay pride march.
Judge Anthony Pitts jailed Goddard for 15 months, saying: 'This case is so serious an immediate sentence of imprisonment is inevitable.'
But despite hearing from the girl's parents the devastating effect the five-month sexual relationship had on the teenager, he rejected a prosecution request to ban the teacher from contacting her victim for five years, claiming it would be 'unnecessary, unkind, and cruel to the victim".

Well, if you don’t feel that it’s okay for homoexual teachesr to molest their students, great.
I just saw a chorus of “not guilty” that happens on these kinds of threads accompanied by a general light heartedness that no crime has been committed because the accused is good looking.
If you aren’t on that bandwagon, great. Just seemed like it.
And comparing me to jeremiah wright is a bit over the top. Most homosexuals were molested when they were young children or adolescents, and this is a grave crime. I don’t see the point of turning it into an ogle fest.
That’s it. “Elminate all age of consent laws”. That is indeed one of their goals.
You would not believe the grief my wife took where she worked at a major company from the fat a$$ broads.
So, your built for speed.
LOL. I take a lot of grief from my fat aunts. They poke my flat stomach. “You should eat more.” I eat as much as the average person does. I just exercise a lot and have a naturally small figure.
And they poke my flat chest. “If you eat the right foods, you’ll grow a chest.” I just laugh. I’m comfortable with my small chest.
I have a gymnast’s body.
Exactly. I hate the “not guilty” comments because they trivialize a serious situation. I bet it would be a whole different ballgame if it was a male teacher and male student.
This happens on any teacher who has had sex with a student thread, whether it is a male with a female, a female with a male, or same sex. It’s all inappropriate.
Look just ‘cause someone makes a joke doesn’t mean they don’t think the underlying crime is acceptable or trivial.
If I joke about OJ Simpson hunting for the true killer on the golf course, doesn’t mean I think killing his wife was OK. Understand?
Kinda Tom-boyish but is fashion model material.... just needs to fill out a bit. Not guilty!
The judge gave her 15 months lickety split.
Sick.
You’re right. It’s disgusting.
Symptoms of the coarsening effect on the culture, when sexual deviance and promiscuity are “normalized”. Boiling frogs who now think it’s perfectly harmless to joke about perversion as though it’s a harmless topic for jocularity.
And perhaps getting a few personal jollies while doing it, otherwise they’d leave it alone.
Too bad it’s so common on FR.
That poor young girl.
She will be scared forever. I don’t think that 15 months is enough time to even begin to heal. That 26 year old is just plain EVIL!!!!
And for all of you who think she’s hot,
1-she probably hates men, so she wouldn’t care
2-Satan is supposed to look pretty good too
Can’t judge a book by it’s cover.
Agreed.
She looks like my old shop teacher
Age of consent in Britain is 16. The girl will be 16 by the teacher’s release. Therefore legally the law cannot stop a relationship between two sexually legal adults.

Not 18.
UK age of consent is 16, not 18 as in your country.
