British Teacher Admits Grooming Teenage Boy for Sex

(The Sun) – A British teacher's career lay in ruins Tuesday after she admitted grooming a teenage boy for sex.

Anne Poli-Page rang the 15-year-old's school four times pretending to be his mother and told staff he was ill so they could spend the day together.

She also showered him with gifts, including alcohol, a tennis racket, and paid his mobile phone bill.

Poli-Page, an IT tutor at Southfields College in Leicester, England met the boy, a student at a different school, socially.

The city's Crown Court was told Poli-Page, a single mother-of-three, had been warned in the past about "inappropriate" behavior with a student.

She was suspended following the latest allegations and may now be fired after being told she must sign the sex offenders' register.

The 47-year-old pleaded guilty to meeting a child following sexual grooming, and child abduction, between March and July last year.

She also admitted harassment, after bombarding the youth with text messages and phone calls.

Poli-Page denied sexual assault, a plea accepted by prosecutors.

However, the court heard she did take her top off in front of the teenager and patted his knee.

Poli-Page also told him she "couldn't wait" until he was 16, and that he was "bad" for her hormones.
