The married mother of two is alleged to have abused her position of trust by having a 14-month affair with the boy when he was 16 and 17.
During his cross-examination this morning the boy spoke of his "love" for his form teacher and how they had become "an item".

"Yes", the boy replied.

Chester Crown Court heard the boy first encountered the defendant at the special school, and their relationship continued after he was excluded and moved to two other addresses in the North West of England.

The boy, who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, emotionally disturbed behaviour and oppositional defiant disorder, said the pair started their sexual relationship in his English teacher's car in the car park at Runcorn station before catching a train to London.

He told the court they also had full sex and oral sex in a number of locations including the British Library and a residence in Manchester.
Mr Roberts asked the boy why he did not tell his friends of the affair.

"Didn't you tell your mates in London that you had a really hot teacher
that gives you a hand-job before you get on the train?"

He answered: "I told my brother four or five months later."

When questioned again about telling his friends the lad replied: "I said she was a good teacher, but didn't tell them that there was anything sexual between us.

"I didn't want them to know that we were an item."

The barrister asked if he was concerned they might be found out to which the lad replied: "I wasn't scared about being found out, but at the time I didn't want it to end. And I loved her, I guess."

Asked if his "key worker", and mother to two young children was worried the affair being made public, he said: "She was scared of course."

"Why was she scared? Did she not trust you?", the barrister asked.

"Well who can who trust?", the boy replied.

The boy, who at times snapped at Mr Roberts when he asked him questions, stormed out of the court on one occasion when asked to look at a collection of photographs of the defendant.

McKenzie, of Meifod, Powys, formerly Chester Road, Tarporley, denies seven counts of sexual activity with a child by a person in a position of trust.
