Kandice Barber, 35, married with three children, can face up to five years in prison. It happened in the county of Buckinghamshire, England.
Kandice Barber, 35, who worked as a teacher at Princes Risborough School, Buckinghamshire County, England, was today found guilty of sexually assaulting one of her students.
At the time of the attack, the young man was 15 years old, and authorities’ inquiries show that in 2018, Barber prosecuted him, harassed him with messages and photos, and eventually abused him. The sentence will be known in the coming days, which can be up to five years in prison.
“It all started on a sports afternoon on September 27, 2018, when she walked up to him and borrowed his phone,” prosecutor Richard Milne said during his plea. “In possession of the phone, he put his details on his Snapchat account. It seemed a bit strange to him, ”Milne continued, according to the Daily Mail transcript recorded by Infobae.com.

Then the messages started to the teenager. He told her when he was taking a bath and asked totally inappropriate questions. “Do you like breasts or butt?” I asked. Then followed by sending pictures of her naked and surrounded by sex toys.
One of the many photos that Barber sent the young man exposed the relationship. She circulated so much in school that she came into the eyes of the principal, who fired her and filed a complaint against her.
By then Barber had already sexually assaulted him. It happened in the field and they had sex with a bale of hay, the prosecution said.

Barber showed no regrets or regrets when he heard the verdict, it took the jury 10 hours and 39 minutes to deliberate. The reason they let her go home and the judge didn’t deliver the verdict is that her attorney, Nadia Chbatt, wasn’t there because she had another connection.
‘I’m not going to immediately go to conviction. I fully accept that Ms. Chbatt, who was his attorney at the trial, should be present, ”said the judge. “I’m going to release her on bail until next time, which will be tomorrow morning or Monday morning, when she will go to Aylesbury Crown Court,” the judge said.
Daniel Barber, Kandice’s husband, supported the teacher at all times. He even testified in his defense, saying their relationship was “as strong as ever.” Asked by the press for the verdict, he was furious. “It’s a joke,” he exclaimed.
As soon as Barber left the court, he took her by the hand. They walked together like this until they got into a car and drove off.
Barber had already been prosecuted for sending the photos. She had been convicted of having a child watch a sexual act while she was in a position of trust, but was acquitted of the charge that she had induced a child to engage in sexual activity. She was found guilty of this second crime on Thursday.
