car and in Hardwick Park, Sedgefield, County Durham.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors said they held hands in the park and then touched each other sexually in Jones&#8217; car.<\/p>\n<p>Covered by a blanket they stripped to the waist and kissed and touched each other, the court was told.<\/p>\n<p>In order to avoid detection, Jones invented an adult female lover, who she said was a colleague at her school, to throw husband Philip off the scent.<\/p>\n<p>Jones, head of science and maths at her school in Darlington, County Durham, urged colleagues to lie to Philip if asked and back up her story that she was cheating with a fictitious teaching assistant called Sarah Martin.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2021\/11\/16\/12\/50554885-10208027-Teacher_Aimee_Jones_arrives_at_court_for_sentencing_after_admitt-m-39_1637067146092.jpg\" height=\"530\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2021\/11\/16\/12\/50554883-10208027-image-a-40_1637067152467.jpg\" height=\"530\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Pictured: Teacher Aimee Jones arrives at Teeside Crown Court ahead of her sentencing today after admitting sexually touching a teenage girl at her school believed to be in the north east<\/p>\n<p>The deception worked at first and the couple stayed together for the sake of their four-year-old son, with Mr Jones accepting she was bisexual.<\/p>\n<p>But later he discovered her lover was in fact a teenage girl who she had met for sexual trysts in her car and in Hardwick Park, Sedgefield, County Durham.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Jones, because of his job, was duty-bound to bring the latter to the attention of the police.<\/p>\n<p>It cost his wife her job and career and the humiliation of being escorted off the school premises before staff and parents.<\/p>\n<p>Today Jones, of Melsonby, North Yorks, is beginning an eight month jail sentence, imposed by a judge who said she&#8217;d destroyed her good name and reputation.<\/p>\n<p>She admitted four counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child aged between 13 and 17, offences that took place in eight meetings between Jones and her victim.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutor Jon Harley said that Jones first approached the girl &#8211; who cannot be named for legal reasons &#8211; in early 2020 when she was aged 15.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8216;The defendant told her that she was bisexual and that she was having feelings of sexual attraction towards her.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2021\/11\/16\/12\/43752623-10208027-Aimee_Jones_will_be_sentenced_at_Teesside_Crown_Court_next_month-a-41_1637067453572.jpg\" height=\"421\" width=\"633\"><\/p>\n<p>Jones will be sentenced at Teesside Crown Court (pictured) after she admitted four counts of abusing a position of trust by engaging in sexual activity with a girl aged between 13 and 17 <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This made her feel slightly uncomfortable, she did not know how to process that information or what to do with it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But in the following weeks and months messages continued between the two, mostly instigated by the defendant.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It is fair to say they were not characterised as being overtly sexual, they were polite and pleasant but messages that made it clear Mrs Jones was interested in her.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The messaging began a 15 month relationship that ended abruptly, leaving the girl devastated as she believed she and Jones were in a mutually loving relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr Harley said: &#8216;Philip Jones began to suspect his wife was having an extra marital affair and he confronted her about it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;She confirmed it was an affair but said it was with a teaching assistant called Sarah Martin who she worked with.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;She went as far as trying, through an email, to request the school effectively pretend there was a teaching assistant of that name in anticipation of her husband making enquiries to that effect.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Robert Mochrie, mitigating, told the court how Mr Jones came to discover the truth about his wife who was &#8216;meek, mild and timid.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8216;Rightly or wrongly the defendant&#8217;s husband was supportive of her sexuality and they decided they would continue together as a married couple.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It was months later when the true identity came to light and it was at that stage that her husband, who has a job of some responsibility, was obliged to report this.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>In a victim personal statement the girl&#8217;s mother told of the impact Jones&#8217; grooming and sexual exploitation of her daughter has had on the family.<\/p>\n<p>She said the abrupt end to the relationship had been &#8216;like a bereavement&#8217; for her daughter.<\/p>\n<p>The mother added: &#8216;She has no doubt they were in love and would have preferred the relationship to continue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;She is now fully aware it is something that should not have happened in the first place and we have tried to maintain some normality in the home.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The mother went on: &#8216;At best she was foolish but at worst she preyed on the fact our daughter was vulnerable from the very outset.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Mochrie said Jones accepts her teaching career is over.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Judge Christopher Smith accepted Mr Mochrie&#8217;s assertion that Jones had shown sincere remorse and concern for her victim following her arrest.<\/p>\n<p>However he said the offences were so serious only an immediate custodial sentence could be justified.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8216;This is a dreadfully sad case. You are an intelligent, highly educated and hard working woman. There is nothing to suggest that you were anything other than a respected and good teacher &#8211; indeed you have risen at the age of 35 to be head of your department.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>However in jailing her for eight months he added: &#8216;All of this has had an impact on your victim. The difference in age between you was almost 20 years, which is in my judgement significant.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;She trusted you, she had genuine feelings for you and of course that relationship has had to come to an abrupt end.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10208027\/Teacher-35-arrives-court-sentenced-sexually-touching-teen-girl.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Married maths teacher, 35, who had sex<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":144824,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23056],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
