RE teacher sentenced for sex with teenager

A religious education teacher will be sentenced today for having sex with a teenage boy.

Madeleine Martin, 39, admitted the relationship with the youth, who was under 16 at the time, when she appeared in court in September.

Martin, of Grassfield Way, Knutsford, Cheshire, pleaded guilty to 10 counts of engaging in sexual activity with the boy in February this year.

She was warned she faced a custodial sentence.

Martin was also suspended from her job at a Greater Manchester school, which cannot be named for legal reasons.

Sentencing is at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court.
