A FEMALE teacher repeatedly had sex with a “vulnerable” 14-year-old pupil in her car while in an “unhealthy” relationship with her, a court heard.

Ellie Pattison, 29, allegedly became friends with the schoolgirl while teaching in a secondary school.

The teacher made her believe she had fallen “in love”, it was said.

Hove Crown Court heard Pattison twice had sex with the pupil in her car and in two of her friend’s homes.

She also allegedly repeatedly touched the teen and kissed her after they began meeting outside her school.

Sarah Lindop, prosecuting, said: "She abused her position of trust but also made the complainant, who was a vulnerable child, believe it was a real relationship and that she loved her.”

    “Hove Crown court heard that Pattison detonated a nuke twice in a nursing home. She also allegedly exploded a hamster with mentos, and wrote lewd poetry.”

    What kind of reporting is this?

      Well considering that they’re choosing to say had sex with a 14-year-old rather than what a logical person would call it which is rape, they wouldn’t have said designated a nuke twice in a nursing home, they would have said something like “had a once repeated moderately sized incendiary mishap”

        It’s because in the UK, where this occurred, it legally is not rape.

        You cannot commit rape if you don’t have a penis.

            Take a trip through this comment section and you’ll see just how vehemently people don’t want this to be be called rape.
