Princes Risborough School teacher, Kandice Barber photos video reddit
Teacher Kandice Barber, 35, was found guilty of assaulting teenage boys sexually.
A teacher has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old child, with her husband shouting It's a joke, a court heard on Thursday as the verdict was read.
After kissing him on the neck and whispering, Kandice Barber, 35, had sex with the pupil: "What do you want to do now?" ”
The Sun notes that the mum-of-three then "threatened" to bring the boy down if he notified her and wrongly accused him of rape.
After a retrial at Amersham Law Court, Barber was convicted on Thursday of one count of causing/inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
The verdict, which took 10 hours and 39 minutes to meet jurors, related to having sex in a field with the child.
Her husband, Daniel, screamed, "It's a joke," as Barber showed no emotion when the verdict was read out.
"As she was released on bail ahead of a sentence set for February 15, she was warned "custody is imminent.
Five years in prison is the starting point for sentencing.
Two other counts of causing/inciting a child to engage in sexual activity were cleared by Barber.
This relates to claims of engaging in a sex act in the driveway of her home in Wendover, Bucks, with the teenager in her 4WD and performing a sex act on him in woodland.
She was previously found guilty of giving him a video of herself that was sexually explicit.
Barber was also accused of messaging a topless selfie to the boy on Snapchat during her first trial last year.
MESSAGES 'SEXUAL'
Jurors learned how the teacher started texting the pupil in 2018 after taking his phone number at a prize-giving event for a school sports day.
Their texts quickly became "sexual" and he was later picked up by Barber in her car before he drove to a farm.
In the secluded region, Barber then had sex with the boy.
Also while teaching him in class, the teacher kept sending the boy sexual messages.
One message read: "When I teach now, you can't make me blush, poker face."
A schoolboy also claimed to have seen Barber's texts, saying, "Do you prefer boobs or bums?" ”
The boy also revealed Barber's face to a friend with a shower selfie and a picture of the supply teacher bent over a bed.
And when explaining their outdoor sexual experience, he told one classmate, 'I shagged her.'
SEARCHES ON WEB
"At the same time, Barber asked, "What is the name of someone you have an affair with? "and on Google, the word "alibi."
"Before later looking up "nice secluded places," and "Holiday Inn, Wycombe," she also typed in "a lie about where you were.
But she just googled "alibi" because she was trying to find out the name of the Fatal Attraction movie, the teacher said.
Rumours soon started to circulate around the school, with Barber warning the boy that if the relationship was revealed she would "bring him down with her."
While the student kept photographs of some of the more graphic texts, she also urged him to remove messages she had sent.
In March last year, four months after the headmaster saw an X-rated photo of her sweeping through the school, Barber was finally arrested.
But at first, the boy denied having sex with her, saying that he was concerned about his baby being born in jail as Barber told him she was pregnant.
MARRIAGE 'Solid'
The teacher also said that they had never had sex and instead said that her husband had fathered her daughter, who she later lost after suffering an ectopic pregnancy.
"The defense team of Barber also attempted to claim that she was too small for the sex position the boy described and that her schedule was "too busy.
But the teacher admitted in a meeting with a social worker that she gave him the topless photo.
"Barber said in a written statement: "I categorically deny that I ever had sexual intercourse with this boy.
"I never saw him naked, nor did he see me naked."
Barber was also defended in court by her husband, telling jurors their marriage is as "strong" as ever.
Mr. Barber, who referred to his wife earlier as his "rock," said that he was unaffected by the arrest of his wife for sending X-rated videos.
"Our relationship is the way it is today, it has never changed," the delivery driver said. We were always good and we were always solid.
I am not one of those people who continuously checks at her while my wife is on the phone to see who she is on the phone to. I have total confidence in her.'
'SAVVY"
But the lawyer, Richard Milne, said Barber was too "savvy" to be swept up in the false news that she said the teen was spreading.
He said, "Mrs. Barber is smart, she's not a fool, she's smart, she's an adult, she's a teacher, she was in a school teaching role."
Was this boy actually giving her the run-around by making all of this up? ”
"He added: "She is clever, she has not overlooked the members of the jury. She wanted to pull the wool over her eyes.
Jurors were unable to reach verdicts on three counts of inducing or inciting a child under the age of 16 to engage in a sexual act last year at Aylesbury Crown Court.
At her previous trial, Barber was convicted of causing or inciting a child to participate in sexual acts while in a position of trust.
She was previously convicted of inappropriate contact with a child and causing a child in a place of trust to watch a sexual act by a male.
"Barber used her position as a teacher and as a trusted member of the community to abuse a teenage boy in her care," said Jennie Laskar-Hall of the Crown Prosecution Service.
The messages were vital to our case as they revealed that Barber had initiated and pursued contact with the teenager, even threatening him when the investigation into the school began.
"Barber has forced the teenager and his family to go through a trial, denying what she had done, and I want to commend him for providing the vital evidence we needed to secure the conviction today."
Barber will next appear for a bail hearing in court on Friday.
Daniel Barber quashed suspicions that his relationship with Kandice Barber, of Wendover, Bucks, had come to an end as he robustly defended her in court today.
