Married teacher who allegedly had s3x with 15-year-old student nabbed through google search







A 35-year-old teacher identified as Kandice Barber is currently facing trial for allegedly having sex with her 15-year-old student. 
 
Following her arraignment in court, the teacher from Wendover, Buckinghamshire, denied the child sex offences and also told jurors the boy had pestered her after she gave him her phone number so he could discuss a problem he had with another student.
 
Aylesbury Crown Court however heard earlier that Ms Barber was a cover supervisor at Princes Risborough School and was bound by the same rules as teaching staff to not contact students outside school without the head's permission. It was alleged that she had sex with the teenager in a field and sent topless pictures to him on Snapchat between September and October 2018, a claim she countered by saying her account was hacked. 
 

 
Barber is accused of meeting up with the pupil for sex on three occasions late in 2018 in a field, in woodland and in her 4x4.
 
The court  also heard the boy admitted sex with Ms Barber after initially denying it when rumours of his alleged relationship with her were put to him by the head teacher in January 2019.
 
On Wednesday September 9, the jury heard that on September 30 2018 she searched "what is the name of someone you are having an affair with?" and the word "alibi" before Googling seconds later "when you have a plan of where you have been."
 
She also searched "a lie of where you have been" before later looking up "good secluded areas," and "Holiday Inn, Wycombe."
 
Giving explanation for her actions, Ms Barber said; 
 

"I was up at 5am as my mum and I were going to set up a car boot sale.
"On the way there was a name of a film that was bugging me,  so I Googled those words. We were trying to remember the film name.
"I thought the name had something to do with adultery but it turned out to be the film Fatal Attraction."

 
She added that she had Googled the hotel for her son’s father to stay in while he visited and "good secluded areas" was in relation to wanting to take her dog for a walk off the lead as he "absolutely loves lakes."
 

 
When Judge Francis Sheridan told Barber that though the boy called her three times, the majority of phone calls had been started by her, she responded by saying; 
 

 "A lot of the time I am calling because he has contacted me on Snapchat saying ‘call me, call me.’
"Now I think he was clearly infatuated and obsessed with me. For me it was all perfectly innocent conversation."

 
It was also alleged that the teacher begged the boy to delete the messages between them following rumours that had floated around in school and at a meeting with the headteacher. Reacting to this, Barber said; 
 

 "At one point I asked the boy to delete messages between us because I was concerned about losing my job.
"My eldest son had got wind of the rumours, he is the type of person who would ask to see my phone.”

 
She added that after she told the boy she was uncomfortable with the calls and refused further contact, he sent her a message which read; 
 

"Watch what's going to happen, you're going to lose your job, you're going to lose your family."

 
Ms Barber denied three counts of causing or inciting a child aged under 16 to engage in a sexual act, one count of sexual communication with a child, one count of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activities while in a position of trust, and one count of causing a child to watch a sexual act by a person in a position of trust.
 
The hearing continues.

Married teacher who had 'doggy-style' sex with boy, 15, in field is jailed for six years







A married teacher who had sex with a 15-year-old boy has been sentenced to more than six years in prison.
 
Kandice Barber was found guilty of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity in January following a retrial and was sentenced for her "beyond despicable" crimes on Friday, March 5.
 
During the trial, Amersham Law Courts heard the 35-year-old married mom had told the boy she would "bring him down with her" if the relationship was discovered.
 
While she was working as a school cover supervisor, she had sent topless pictures of herself to the boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, as well as a "live video" of her masturbating.
 
On Friday, March 5, Barber, of Wendover, Buckinghamshire, appeared at Aylesbury Crown Court to be sentenced.
 

 
Prosecutor David Povall summarised a statement from the victim, who said he faced stress and anxiety as a result of the incidents and going through two trials.
 
He continued: "He was at school and it was through his presence at school that he came into contact with this defendant, who was working there in a position of trust.
 
"He feels that his GCSE results were not as good as they should have been, in part as a result of the impact of these incidents on him.
 
"As a result of his poorer-than-expected GCSE results he had to leave the good school he was attending and go to a sixth-form college where none of his friends were.
 
"In summary, he says that the defendant ... who was supposed to help students make the right decisions instead helped him to make all the wrong decisions."
 
Recorder Bal Dhaliwal handed Barber a sentence of six years and two months for the charge of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
 
She described how Barber added herself to the victim's Snapchat account in September 2018, exchanging messages with the boy which became sexual within a week.
 
She said: "You also sent images, including a topless image of yourself, and a live video in which you were masturbating. All of these acts are tantamount to you grooming him and pulling him in, and with significant planning on your part.
 
During one incident, the court heard Barber asked the boy to meet her, going to a private field and having sex with him.
 

 
The judge continued: "There is no doubt in my mind that you acted in gross breach of trust. You took advantage of a child in your care and groomed him for your own sexual gratification."
 
Barber later told the boy to delete all messages and block her on Snapchat to stop evidence being found.
 
"You remained determined to silence him in whatever way you could," Judge Dhaliwal said.
 
Barber later told the teenager that she was pregnant and was unsure whether the baby was his or her husband's. "This was yet another attempt by you to manipulate and control him," the judge continued.
 
"You already had authority over him by the nature of your position, and to use threats to bring him down so he would comply with your demands to remain quiet, which is what I find that you did, is in my view beyond despicable."
 
Barber was also handed a 16-month prison sentence for causing a child under 16 to watch sexual activity by a person in breach of trust and a further 10-month sentence for sexual communication, both to be served concurrently with her main sentence.
 
She will be required to notify police of her personal details and address for the rest of her life, as well as being barred from working with children and vulnerable adults, and being subject to a lifelong sexual harm prevention order.
