TEACHER PAID TEEN LAD FOR SEX
A RANDY teacher’s assistant repeatedly romped with a teenage boy in a grubby cupboard at the back of a classroom which she nicknamed her “sex pod”.
Nicole Evelyn Woods, 55, had been necking booze and smoking crystal meth when she abused the 15-year-old boy, as well as sending him nude photos of herself, a court heard.
Mum Woods at first denied the offences up until the victim – now 19 – was due to give evidence against her.
After joining the school in 2016 to help its visually impaired students, Woods began to strike up an illicit relationship with the pupil.
She started to buy the boy’s food and even paid for his mobile phone to be repaired.

She then sent him a Facebook message, where she asked him to “come play” with her in her store room at the back of the class at Staughton College in Melbourne, Australia.
It was the first of multiple sexual assaults she committed against the teenager over a five-month period in 2016.
The boy boasted to pals in the school playground that Woods paid him for each time he shagged her, the court was told.
But it wasn’t until one year later that police questioned her, with Woods denying all the allegations against her at first.
After officers found photos of Woods on the boy’s Facebook account, she went on the run – sparking a nationwide hunt before being held in December.
Woods told police: “It was a snap of the brain. It was just so wrong, I knew it was wrong.
“I always wanted someone to love me.”
Woods has since pleaded guilty to two charges of sexual penetration of a child under 16.
She will be sentenced at a later date.
