Teacher had sex with pupil after playing drunken game, court told

A SCOTTISH trainee teacher at a public school had sex with a 16-year-old pupil after getting him drunk on cider, a court heard yesterday.

Hannah McIntyre, 25, a classics teacher at 8,000-a-year Merchant Taylors' Boys' School in Crosby, Merseyside, also kissed the boy "passionately" when they took part in a booze-fuelled game, Liverpool Crown Court was told.

Gerald Baxter, prosecuting, said she allowed the boy and two of his friends into her home, later buying them cider which they drank while watching television.

The boy later followed her into the bedroom where they had sex, Mr Baxter said.

He told the jury: "On the night of the offence, the boy was out with two school friends.

"One of them said he knew where the defendant lived and suggested to the others that they should call at her house.

"They knocked on her door and she invited them in."

Mr Baxter said McIntyre, of Winstanley Road, Waterloo, Merseyside, was already drinking wine when the boys arrived and all four sat and talked until they all went to an off-licence.

He added that she agreed to buy the boys a two-litre bottle of cider and bought wine for herself.

When they returned to the house, Mr Baxter said, one of the boys dared the defendant to kiss the alleged victim.

"The kiss was described as passionate," the barrister told the jury.

As the night wore on, the three boys and their teacher decided the boys would stay at her house for the night, the court heard.

"Whereas two of the boys slept in the living area, (the alleged victim) went upstairs and into bed with the defendant," Mr Baxter said.

The barrister admitted to the jury that the boy, was unclear in his recollection of how they ended up in bed together.

"But he does recall having sexual intercourse with her," Mr Baxter said.
