Trainee teacher denies drunken sex with pupil

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 of dares, Liverpool Crown Court was told.

Gerald Baxter, prosecuting, said she allowed the boy and two of his friends into her home on a Friday night, later buying them cider.

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

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

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

As the night wore on, the trio and their teacher decided it was too late for them to go home alone and two boys slept in one room, while the other slept with the teacher.

McIntyre, who was in her final year of teacher training, denies one count of sexual activity with a child by a person in a position of trust.

The case continues.
