| Teacher jailed for having sex with students |
| 2010-11-24 |
| [Emirates 24/7] An Indian-origin woman has been has been jugged for 16 months afer she was found guilty of sexual misconduct. Hina Patel, 37, confessed that she had sex with two 15-year-old students earlier this year, reports The Sun. Both boys had a poor disciplinary record at school and one of them had juvenile convictions, Patel's lawyer revealed in the Liverpool court. Patel, a signle mother of two boys, was employed to supervise 'disruptive' 15-year-olds at Birkdale High School near Southport, Merseyside, but she quickly started flirting with them and during one-to-one supervision she exchanged mobile numbers with the boys. A week later, she invited the boys over to her house where she had sex with both the boys, the prosecution told the court. The Judge accepted that Patel's behaviour was 'out of character' and added that "I have no hesitation whatsoever in coming to the conclusion that these offences were so serious only an immediate custodial sentence can be justified." Patel, who was present in the court at the time of sentencing, dabbed her nose with a tissue as she was jugged for 16 months for each of the two offences, to be served concurrently. Patel has also been banned from working with children under the age of 16, being alone in the company of children under the age of 16 - apart from her own children - and also banned from using social networking sites to contact children. |

| #2 Update: Both lad's former disciplinary problems have been resolved, and both have scored within the upper 5% on recent General Certificate Secondary Ed (GCSE) testing. Former teacher Hina Patel has immigrated to the USA and is now employed by the TSA as a screener. All's well that ends well I always say. |
