A teacher who had an affair with a teenage girl pupil harbouring a crush on him has been jailed for one year after he fathered her child. Married dad-of-two Simon Parsons, aged 52, showed no emotion as he was led to the cells dressed all in black.
Minutes before appearing in front of the judge the disgraced drama teacher sat calmly outside Court Two reading The Guardian.
He came prepared for jail with his personal possessions in a rucksack and a large black plastic bag beside his seat.
The court heard how Parsons began a five-year affair with the victim by taking her on a theatre trip to London shortly after her 17th birthday. They stayed overnight in a hotel and had sexual intercourse in their room
