Teacher gets community service for relationship with pupil

A 52-year-old religious education teacher has been given 80 hours community service for having a relationship with a 14-year-old pupil by judges in Breda, news agency ANP reports.


The court recognised that the girl was in love with her teacher and did not object to the relationship, but said the teacher should have prevented the relationship turning sexual.
The court also took into account the fact that the man has lost both his job and his wife when determining the sentence, ANP said.
