A teaching assistant who joked to friends that the pupils in her class were "hormonal and horny teenage boys" has been jailed after grooming and having sex with a 14-year-old schoolboy.
Fatinah Hossain, 25, also tried to get the victim’s family to drop the charges with threats and bribes, a court heard.
At Brighton Crown Court on Thursday (October 21) Hossain was jailed for five years and four months.
Hossain, who aspired to work in criminal law and had completed a Masters in Global Criminology at the University of Roehampton, will also be registered as a sex offender indefinitely.
The former educator, known to friends as Tina, had claimed she was pregnant after the boy tried to end the months-long illicit relationship.

After being released on bail last June, Hossain launched a campaign of harassment against the boy and his family in a bid to stop the police probe.
Using fake social media accounts, Hossain tried to manipulate other children with threats made against at least one other youngster to warn them off speaking to officers.
She also threatened the boy and his family using fake names and added she would pay him to "drop the charges", according to Sussex Police.

Hossain sent messages to an adult member of the boy's family in a bid to try and get him sacked from his job and even made false reports to police to try and get him arrested.
Her "relentless" campaign continued until March this year when police were handed proof that the allegations were false.
Hossain was then charged with perverting the course of justice along with one count of sexual activity with the boy while in a position of trust.
She had been working as a teaching assistant and cover teacher at the school in Horsham, West Sussex.

Judge Jeremy Gold told Hossain that she had "embarked on quite a remarkable campaign of harassment" that was "relentless, wide-ranging and malicious" following the "persistent nature of penetrative [sexual] activity over time".
Detective Constable Leigh Rankin, of Sussex Police, added that Hossain had spun a "web of lies and manipulation".
DC Rankin told reporters: "This was a prolonged and distressing campaign and we are glad that justice has now been done for the boy and the several other people who became entrapped in Hossain's web of lies and manipulation.
"Hossain was first arrested in June 2020 following a report that she had groomed and had sex with a 14-year-old boy from a school in Horsham where she was working as a study supervisor and cover teacher.

"A sexual relationship continued for several months during which she continued to manipulate the boy's emotions, including claiming that she was pregnant after he had tried to end the relationship.
"Hossain was initially released on bail for further investigation. Following this, the victim, his family, and friends suffered a prolonged and complex campaign of behaviour against them in an attempt to derail the investigation and avoid justice."
DC Rankin said Hossain tried to manipulate other children and ordered at least one not to speak to police.
