A married primary school teacher has been jailed for nine years for ‘violent acts of a sexual nature’ against a male pupil aged 11.
Anna Plaksyuk, then 25, forced the boy to kiss her on the lips and touch her breasts, the court in Leningrad, Russia, was told.
She kept him in after class, locked the door, and ‘stroked his private parts through his clothes’.
The paedophile teacher sent nude pictures to the boy, and demanded them from him.
She was caught when the boy’s mother found the explicit WhatsApp messages and photos, and immediately reported the woman to the school director in Toksovo, Leningrad, and the police.
The boy’s mother accused the teacher of ‘systematic flirting, stroking and kissing’.
The teacher – now 27 – confessed to the secret meetings with the underage boy in her locked classroom.
She told police the boy had ‘shown signs of attention’ for several months and ‘made compliments’ to her.
The child sexual abuse was going on for four months.
The ‘popular’ teacher has been in pre-trial detention for more than a year.
She was convicted of ‘violent acts of a sexual nature committed against a person under 14 years of age’, and was banned from teaching for one year after her release.
Her husband has not commented on his wife’s dismissal from her school and conviction.
Initially, parents refused to believe the allegations against the teacher, and defended her, it was revealed.
One parent described her as a ‘dream teacher’ and colleagues praised her, saying they had not noticed the woman’s ‘dark side’.
Her social media status said: ‘You can’t hold a man back with anything – not with children, not with youth, not with your stomach, not with blackmail, not with hysterics.’
The boy did not go to school for a prolonged period after the teacher was detained, his mother said.
