Boy was ‘madly in love' with me, called me his wife, says teacher accused of sexually assaulting teen
The English teacher, who is married and has two young children, was arrested under stringent provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. In her plea, filed earlier this week and scheduled for hearing on Monday, she has claimed that the relationship was consensual and mutual, and that the boy was 'madly in love' with her.
She has submitted handwritten notes and text messages exchanged between them to back her claim. 'He wanted to get my name or nickname tattooed and referred to me as his wife,' the plea states. She has denied using any force or intimidation.
The teacher resigned from the school in April 2024. In her plea, she has pointed out that the complaint was filed just as the boy was about to turn 18, implying that the family feared they would lose control over him once he became a legal adult.
According to the police, the relationship began during rehearsals for the school's annual function in December 2023. The teacher allegedly initiated sexual contact in January 2024. She is also accused of taking the boy to five-star hotels in South Mumbai and near the airport, getting him drunk, and giving him anti-anxiety medication.
The police have said she even sought help from a female colleague to intercede on her behalf when the student began withdrawing. The matter came to light after the boy's family noticed changes in his behaviour. He was later diagnosed with depression after completing his board exams.
The family decided to approach the police when the teacher allegedly tried to contact him through their domestic staff. She is currently in judicial custody.
The FIR against her includes charges under Sections 4, 6, and 17 of the POCSO Act (relating to penetrative sexual assault, aggravated assault, and abetment), and relevant sections of the Juvenile Justice Act and the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita.

China's Cross-Dressing Influencer ‘Films Sex With 1,600 Men Without Consent'
Last Updated: The influencer, who dresses as a woman, by wearing long dresses, wigs and heavy makeup, is accused of secretly recording private moments with more than 1000 men. A shocking scandal involving a man known as Sister Hong has come to light in Nanjing, China. The influencer, who dresses as a woman, by wearing long dresses, wigs and heavy makeup, is accused of secretly recording private moments with more than 1000 men. The videos were then shared and sold online without the men's knowledge. Many victims were unaware they were being filmed, and some were shocked to find their partners in the videos. He also used beauty filters and changed his voice while talking to men on social media. According to the South China Morning Post, the Nanjing police arrested the man, identified as Jiao, also known as Nanjing Uncle Red. He is accused of setting up a hidden camera in his home to secretly record intimacy with different men. He later shared these private videos in an online group. Reports suggest that he charged people a membership fee of 150 Yuan (approximately Rs 1700) to join the group and watch the clips. Reports claimed that Jiao is actually in his 60s and has slept with 1691 men. However, the police have said that this number seems to be exaggerated, while also claiming that he's 38 years old and they did not confirm how much money he made from selling the videos. Interestingly, Uncle Red did not ask the men for money. Instead, he only requested small gifts in return. Some visitors brought items like milk, fruit or snacks. One man even gave him half a bottle of cooking oil. Along with the videos, close-up photos showing the faces of many men were also shared online. This made the situation worse, as some of them were identified by their close families and friends. In some cases, some people even found the men's social media accounts. One man was recognised by his mother, who said he worked as an English teacher at a kindergarten. In another case, a woman was shocked to find her own fiancé among Sister Hong's victims. These unexpected exposés have triggered anger and emotional distress for many of the men involved. Jiao has been taken into police custody, and the investigation is still going on.
