A married woman teacher alleged to have had an affair with a schoolboy sent him 131 text messages in one day, a court heard today.
Jenine Saville-King said texts were about their personal lives, school and course work, but there was never ever any talk of sex.
Hundreds of text messages are alleged to have passed between Mrs Saville-King and the schoolboy during their affair which is said to have begun when he was just 15 years old.
Barrister Ann Evans prosecuting put in to the teacher: "You were deep in a sexual relationship with this young man and these texts show the true nature of your relationship."
Mrs Saville-King replied: "No, I was very fond of him by this time and enjoyed talking to him."
The 29 year old mother of two was giving evidence on day 10 of her trial at St Albans crown court in which she denies seven counts of sexual activity with a child and one charge of abuse of trust.
