The ex-boyfriend of a teacher who allegedly romped with a pupil in a plane toilet today said their sex life “couldn’t have been worse”. Eleanor Wilson was 26 when she is said to have had sex with the 16-year-old boy during a flight home from a school trip to Africa in 2015.
Her former partner, Andrew Hall, told Bristol Crown Court he eventually dumped her because he was worried she was cheating on him.
He also told the jury that towards the end of their nine-year relationship their sex life “couldn’t have been worse”, reports the Bristol Post.
Mr Hall added that their relationship was “dysfunctional” and said he had not been “touchy-feely” with Wilson.
He said he heard Wilson on the phone telling someone “I knew you wouldn’t tell anyone, I knew I could trust you” – but she later denied speaking on the phone.
The boy she is accused of having sex with on the plane today told the court he could hear her boyfriend “screaming” in the background during one call.
Mr Hall then became more suspicious that she was having an “unacceptable” relationship with someone else so broke up with her in August 2016.
Meanwhile, a fellow teacher at the school said Wilson had an “immature” side and could also be “silly and girly” and some had favourite pupils, the court heard.
The same teacher added that the teenage pupil was quite mature for his age and a girl at the school said rumours were circulating about Wilson and the boy.
When she confronted the boy he told her he had “slept with her” on a plane while another boy said he told him he was drunk and had sex with her in the toilet.
The court previously heard she was targeted by an unknown male who tried to blackmail her with the schoolboy sex claims. The headteacher at her school said Wilson received explicit emails including one that had a photo of a penis.
The jury also heard allegations that the teacher dropped her trousers, exposing herself from her left ankle to her vagina before having sex with the student in the plane’s toilet. The teen, who cannot be named, claimed he had kept his teacher’s number in his phone as “Smurfette” — but did not keep evidence of their contact together.
Jurors were played a police interview with the boy saying the teacher “called me in” after running her hand around his penis.
He said: “We proceeded to kissing and touching and at this point she had my hand down her boxers. “From there, she pulled down my jogging bottoms and she was placed on her knees.
“My back was against the wall and she was knelt in front of me. Then when she stood up my trousers were down anyway and she pulled her trousers down. “It became difficult it wasn’t working – she’s very tall.”
After they had full sex the boy recalls having a “very brief conversation” with her on how they were going to get out of the toilet. He also claimed Wilson told him that she loved him.
