32-YR-OLD TEACHER CAUGHT SENDING SMUTTY TEXT AFTER SLEEPING WITH A MINOR

A married teaching assistant sent thousands of sexual offensive texts after starting a two-year affair with a schoolboy, 14, and threatened suicide when his parents found out. Charlotte Parker, 32, admitted engaging in sexual activity with the teenage pupil whilst she was working at Hylands Academy in Chelmsford, Essex. According to mailonline A jury at Basildon Crown Court today heard that the relationship began when the victim was 14

and sent her a Christmas card before spiralling into a two-year love affair. The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was between 15 and 16 years of age during the time of offending. Austin Stoton, prosecuting, told the court the pair had exchanged around 3,000 WhatsApp mobile messages in lessthan a month between June 17 and July 14, 2013.

 the victim had explained that he had been seeing the defendant for a period of two years.

'He understood she was married. 'He explained they were close and believed they were going to buy a house together.'

When Parker was told the victim's parents had found out about the affair she sent a message to the boy saying  'Tonight is going to be the end of my life. 'I'll go quietly - I already have a bath ready.' An iPhone, iPad and Acer computer were seized from Mrs Parker’s home in Billericay, Essex, in September 2013 on which indecent images of the boy were found. Parker pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual activity with a child, two counts of making indecent images of a child and one count of encouraging a child to perform a sex act on himself. She denied two charges of attempting sexual intercourse with a child. Dale Beeson, mitigating, told the court his client had struggled with mental illness and depression for a decade describing hers as a 'tragic case'.
