Singapore teacher jailed for having sex with former student
Singapore - A Singapore court sentenced a former primary school teacher and married woman to 10 months in jail on Monday for having sex with a 15-year-old student, local media reported.
The 32-year-old woman, a mother of two, had developed an intimate relationship with her young charge when he was 14 years old and after they had gone on an overseas school trip.
After the trip they stayed in touch through frequent telephone calls and SMS messages. The woman declared the boy her godson and began showering him with care and attention.
The relationship continued even after he left primary school to go to secondary school.
The ex-teacher admitted to having sex with the boy in a rented room in March last year when he was still under 16, the online edition of the Straits Times newspaper reported.
The former teacher reported to the police in May after the boy threatened to kill her and her family when she decided to break off the relationship.
