Pupil 'who had sex with teacher' claims he lied to 'keep her sweet'

The 16-year-old victim of a female PE teacher lied to the school and Child Protection Services to 'keep her sweet', a court heard.

Bronwen James, 30, is accused of having sex with the pupil at her house while they watched Wimbledon and asked him to call her 'miss'.

She is alleged to have become 'flirtatious' with the boy and invited him to her home for sex up to four times.

The teacher is on trial at Winchester Crown Court accused of four counts of sexual activity with the teenager, which she denies. She claims the boy was 'put up' by another pupil to make the allegations against her.

James allegedly organised meetings with the pupil at Bitterne Park School in Southampton on Snapchat and picked him up so they could kiss in the car as part of their 'sexually charged relationship'.
