Boy, 15, had sex in tent with teacher, court hears

A man who claimed a headteacher took his virginity, when he was 15, has told a jury it was a “tumultuous night”— he crept into her tent and had sex with her.

Afterwards, the claimant said he felt a mixture of emotions, though he was “happy with my little self” that he had lost his virginity before he was 16, “which seemed really important at the time”, Teesside Crown Court heard.

Anne Lakey, 55, from Stanley, County Durham, denies 13 charges of indecent assault said to have occurred in the late 1980s. Six counts refer to a boy who was aged 13 or 14 and the remainder relate to a boy aged 15.
