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.”

    That’s pretty fucked up. Good thing that I don’t let one island tell me what rape is.

      I mean that’s fine. I morally agree with you.

      But the Sun is a UK paper/tabloid, reporting on a UK case. It would be libel if they called it rape when it legally isn’t there.
