TEACHER ‘TOO DRUNK’ TO REMEMBER BONKING TEEN

-

A SCHOOL footie coach has admitted SHAGGING a teenage boy but claimed she was too DRUNK to remember it.

Rebecca Lee Noonan ( right) pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old boy in his bedroom while his mum was away.

Noonan, 33, seduced the lad by climbing into his bed naked, before bonking him – and then begging the teen to keep their romp a secret.

The court also heard Noonan was a friend of the family and had known the boy’s mum for a long time.

Despite confessing to the crime, the ex-teacher is trying to avoid jail by claiming she was “so drunk” at the time of the encounter that she couldn’t remember it.

She said: “I was so drunk or so under the influence of drugs or medicine that I did not know what I was doing at the time of the crime.”

Noonan, a former head coach at Champlin Park High School, in Minnesota, had her contract terminated after she was charged with sexual misconduct.

She agreed to plead guilty to sexual misconduct over the encounter with the possibilit­y that the case will later be dismissed.

Her plea deal means her case will be dismissed if she meets all requiremen­ts after sentencing.

She is set to undergo a psycho-sexual evaluation before being sentenced in April.
