A VIRGIN schoolboy was seduced by a history teacher after she exposed her breasts during a game of dare, a court heard yesterday.
Acclaimed headteacher Anne Lakey then let the 13-year-old watch her bathe, he told a jury.
The alleged victim yesterday called her “disgusting and wrong” as he revealed how they performed sex acts on each other while her former husband was at work. Lakey, now 54, is accused of seducing the boy in the Eighties, when she was in her late 20s. She went on to have a glittering career.
She denies four counts of indecency with a child under 14 and five of indecent assault against a child under 16.
Durham Crown Court has heard claims “sexual monster” Lakey had the alleged relationship with a boy – who was not a pupil – after encouraging him to visit her home first with friends and then on his own.
Caroline Goodwin, prosecuting, asked why he had done it. “Because I was a lad in his early teens, that’s what lads in their early teens want to do,” he said.
Lakey, from Stanley, County Durham, was teaching at a Sunderland comprehensive at the time.
The alleged victim said she rang his school claiming to be his mother and saying he was unwell while he played truant. Once her husband almost caught them but he hid in a cupboard.
When he said he did not want to see Lakey any more, he claimed she tried to keep him in her room.
Two years ago the alleged victim discovered an interview with Lakey on the internet where she told how she cared about young people.
“I was thinking to myself, ‘She had a funny way of showing it’,” he told the court. “I was so angry about it I sent an email.”
He added: “If you care so much about young people you don’t go having sex with teenage boys.”
His mother gave evidence via videolink saying he told her in 2000 what had happened.
Lakey was described as an “inspiring leader” by the Chief Inspector of Education after improving GCSE pass rates.
She became head of Deerness Valley Comprehensive in 2001 which later became one of two schools to form the Durham Federation of Schools. It was the country’s most improved secondary last year.
The trial continues.
