Miss not sorry for molesting pupil aged 14

-

A TEACHER has refused to apologise to her victim after being sentenced for molesting him in the 1980s when he was just 14.

Kathryn Joy Woods was 24 years old when she engaged in a sexual act with the victim, identified only as AB, in 1984.

At the time, AB’s parents were overseas and she was staying with the boy at his home. Woods ( above) had previously taught AB.

The pair exchanged love letters throughout 1984, however Woods maintained the pair “should not step over the line” – until August, when she molested him.

She was found guilty of one count each of indecent assault and gross indecency with a person under 16 by a jury in August.

She was sentenced to a two-year community correction­s order, and 200 hours of unpaid work.

Outside Melbourne, Victoria, court, Woods, 59, said: “There wasn’t a victim, he needs to apologise to me.” AT any given moment, about 0.7% of the people in the world are drunk
