Boy had teacher fantasy, court told
Friday 12th March 2010, 11:52AM GMT.
A teenage boy had “a fantasy” about a Mid Wales teacher who is accused of having sex with him, a court has heard.
Theresa McKenzie, 39, of Meifod, near Welshpool, was a deputy headteacher of a special school the boy attended in Cheshire.
The married mother-of-two is alleged to have abused her position of trust by having a 14-month affair with the boy when he was 16 and 17.
McKenzie, formerly of Chester Road, Tarporley, denies seven counts of sexual activity with a child by a person in a position of trust.
Yesterday at Chester Crown Court the boy spoke of his “love” for his former teacher and how they had become “an item”.
Questioning the youngster, who spoke to the court by video link, Tim Roberts, for McKenzie, asked: “In your last year at school you had cemented the fantasy about your teacher?”
“Yes”, the boy replied.
The court heard the boy first encountered the defendant at the special school, and their relationship continued after he was excluded and moved to two other addresses in the north west of England.
The boy, who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, emotionally disturbed behaviour and oppositional defiant disorder, said the pair started their sexual relationship in his English teacher’s car in the car park at Runcorn station before catching a train to London.
He said they had sex in a number of locations including the British Library.
The trial continues.
