WHAT A LOT OF RUBBISH!

A young Australian guy gets lucky. So what? The woman is a victim of political correctness if ever there was one

A female teacher who had a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old student has been sentenced to five years jail in the Victorian County Court. Cindy Leanne Howell, who has pleaded guilty to one count of maintaining a sexual relationship with a child under 16, sobbed loudly today after receiving the jail sentence with a minimum term of two-and-a-half years.

The court was told the 36-year-old was employed as an integrated aid teacher at a high school on the Mornington Peninsula and assisted the student with a reading difficulty. The mother of four began a sexual relationship with him over eight months last year after he started dating her daughter. In the following months Howell would have sex with the teenager at her home, his home and at a nearby beach.

Judge Jan Pannam said the facts of this case were "particularly disturbing" as the mother of four was in a position of trust when she engaged in a relationship with the student. However, she said she took into consideration Howell's plea of guilty saved her victim from having to give evidence in court and it demonstrated remorse.
