A TEACHER who admitted an obssessive emotional relationship with a 15-year-old pupil at a Watford school has been cleared of molesting him sexually.
Jenine Saville-King, 29, who according to the alleged victim had regularly indulged in sexual acts with him in her car, at her home and in local hotels, was cleared of all charges, including sexual activity with a child and abuse of trust, on Wednesday.
She had told St Albans Crown Court: "He was a comfort to me.
"He would say nice things about me - that I was pretty and I made him laugh.
"I was really fond of him."
But she repeatedly denied any sexual contact at all had occurred, or even been discussed.
Mrs Saville King lived in Puddingstone Drive, St Albans, at the time of the realtionship in 2004 and 2005.
