In the Isle of Wight, UK, school employee Melanie Rock was accused of molesting a 15-year-old student. The Daily Mail reports this.
According to investigators, Rock met the teenager when she was 31 years old. They first exchanged messages on social networks, and then began dating outside of school. One day, Rock took the boy to the slot machines and gave him 45 pounds sterling (five thousand rubles) to play. In addition, she bought him clothes and vapes.
Another time, Rock brought a schoolboy to her home. According to the boy, they were lying on the bed together, and the woman hugged him from the back, pressing her whole body against him and wrapping her legs around him. Then she took out a bag from the drawer and showed the teenager its contents. Inside were handcuffs, transparent underwear and sex toys.
The last meeting between them, according to investigators, took place in a pizzeria. There they encountered Rock's colleague. Frightened of discovery, the woman forced the boy to say that he was her godson. The colleague did not believe it and reported everything to the school management.
The woman denies all charges. However, CCTV footage confirms the student's words. The trial is ongoing.
