A female drama teacher had her relationship with a 16-year-old pupil discovered when the pair were caught visiting a sexual health clinic together.

Kelly Ann-Marie Burgess, from Newport in Gwent, admitted four counts of adult breach of trust and sexual activity with a boy aged 16 and 17 at North Somerset Courthouse in Weston-super-Mare this morning.

The court heard how the 26-year-old's offences were exposed when the victim told a nurse at a sexual health clinic that he was in a sexual relationship with a teacher.

The offences took place at a school in north Somerset where Burgess was in a 'position of trust' in relation to the boy.

She sexually touched the teenager, 'not reasonably believing he was aged 18 or over', charges state.

Prosecuting, Michael Collins told magistrates: 'The defendant and the child had attended a sexual health clinic where the child made some revelations to the practice nurse that he was or had been in a sexual relationship with a 25-year-old teacher and mentioned the defendant by name.'

'The practice nurse explained that this caused her obvious concerns and there was a protocol which may mean she might need to make a referral in relation to this.'

Mr Collins said the child left the room and returned with the defendant, who provided a false name to the nurse.

A police investigation began and Burgess was arrested on August 28.

Police carried out a search at the teacher's home and her mobile phone was seized. Mr Collins said the phone received a text message from the boy while en route to the police station.

The text read: 'Got the police round. Don't text back, don't be scared.'

'Just get the story straight for when they come for you.'

Burgess initially denied she was involved with the boy and claimed she had accompanied him to the sexual health clinic after a relationship between him and a girl of the same age.

Officers then discovered back-ups of deleted files from Burgess's phone on her work station, Mr Collins said.

'She was interviewed again. She confirmed they had begun a relationship in January,' the prosecutor said.

'She stated she wasn't aware there was anything illegal because, as far as she was concerned, he had reached the age of consent.'







Time to go back to school

I had a gym teacher in 7th grade that i wish molested me. He was a short thing, but so was I at that age. The line between your "first time" and being "molested" is very blurred at that age. I was definitely ready for sexual contact at that age though.

I guess boys and girls are different though.

at least they were being responsible, how many teens having sex normally go to the health clinic? at;east she was being responsible.

honestly, i know i'll get hate for saying this, but i don't think boys being molested is the same as girls being molested. I think any boy being molested is just lucky, and i don't think they are traumatized by it the way girls are. girls seem to be more "victimized" by it, so i think it's different.

(yes i know it's sexist, yes i know it's irresponsible to say, and no i can't justify it, it's just what i think, so ****ing kill me)

She should be sacked and prosecuted to the full.

I agree.

I think the press about it is more damaging to the boy than the actual "molestation".

she's not a pedo, pedo means pre-pubescent. She wasn't molesting little children.

let's try to keep some perspective, can we?

It's an abuse of trust, it shouldn't be painted as sexual assault because it's consensual and between two legal adults. If she was his next door neighbour, not his teacher, this wouldn't be a crime. I don't know how the law handles these sorts of situations compared to actual sexual assaults but I would hope that at worst she's just banned from teaching.

Firstly... LMFAO at the duck-faced selfies... and all duck-faced selfies.


Zee's right, it is an abuse of trust. She's dispicable and should never be allowed to work as a teacher again. When I worked in further education lecturers were not allowed to date their adults students. It is unethical and the teacher in this case should be prosecuted and jailed, just like she would be if she was a man.

Really? It's not just "frowned upon"? [/Ross Gellar]

I agree she was wrong to do it, but should we really be putting all this pressure on the boy, making him feel like he's a victim? if he does't feel like a victim, i don't think it's healthy to try to make him feel like a victim.

do you get what i'm saying? i think in some ways it's more damaging to make him feel like a victim, when ordinarily he would just be bragging to his friends.

He's definitely no victim.
