Teacher accused of sex with schoolboy says claims are like a ‘weird porn film’

A teacher accused of having sex with a student in a plane toilet said the boy’s claims are imagined and sound like the script of a “weird porn film”, a court has heard.

Eleanor Wilson, 29, is on trial accused of having sexual intercourse with the teenager on a British Airways flight home from an overseas camping trip in August 2015.

It is alleged the science teacher kissed and cuddled the boy before “beckoning” him into the toilet where they had sex.

She is also accused of seeing the boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, outside of school and kissing and cuddling him on three separate occasions.

Bristol Crown Court heard details of what Wilson told police when she was interviewed over the allegations.

“The amount of detail has come from his imagination and I don’t know why he was saying that,” Wilson said.

“They are very good at imagining stuff and thinking of… it seems like some weird porn film.”

She added: “I think it is something that is scripted. It is not a memory.”

When Wilson responded to the alleged incident in the plane toilet, she said: “I was on my period and that’s the last thing I was thinking of.

“I would not jeopardise my career or risk going to prison. I would not have broken the law or gone beyond the friendship.”

Wilson denied holding hands or kissing the teenager in his bedroom after dropping him home from a meal at Nando’s or during days out together.

Wilson, who is 6ft 2ins, told police: “I didn’t hold hands – I am massive compared to him. I don’t think he can even reach.

“I am not a very physical person. Me and my boyfriend had a good relationship but it was not my style to hold hands and kiss in public.”

She says she formed a friendship with the boy because she had no other friends, other than her then boyfriend.

During the seven months after the school trip there were 339 contacts between the two on the boy’s mobile phone, which consisted of 295 text messages, 23 calls, 13 calls that went straight to answer phone and eight multimedia messages.

Wilson told police she confided in the boy that she was pregnant during a conversation in her office at the school, and would be having an abortion.

“I didn’t want to tell Andy about it and (the boy) was the only person I spoke to,” she said.

“I saw (the boy) as a mate rather than a pupil. It had become casual and totally blurred because I didn’t teach him any more.”

Wilson, from Dursley, Gloucestershire, denies four charges of sexual activity with a child by a person in a position of trust.

The trial continues.
