A woman teacher in Britain has admitted having sex with two 15-year-old male students after luring them to her home.. Hina Patel, 37, pleaded guilty to two charges of abusing her position of trust by sexual misconduct with the boys, who cannot be identified because of their age.
Patel, who worked at Birkdale High School, near Southport in Merseyside, lured the two teenagers to her home, where they had "full sexual intercourse," a local court heard Wednesday. According to local news reports, she met the boys for sex sessions at her home in nearby Hightown over several weeks between February 1 and March 18 this year.

Patel pleaded guilty to two charges of abusing her position of trust by sexual misconduct with the two boys, whose identities have not been revealed because of their age. She was suspended when the allegations emerged earlier this year. Her responsibilities included setting work and behaviour management.
After the hearing at North Sefton Magistrates' Court, Gary Loveridge, the head teacher of the Birkdale High School, said: "I am appalled she used her position in such a way." "We are relieved we found out at such an early stage. But it just shows how you have to be very vigilant and your processes have to be robust."
However, Patel's counsel Patrick Williamson told the court that its powers were insufficient for sentencing Patel because of the offence. The chairperson of the bench, Caroline Spencer, bailed Patel on condition she did not contact the boys or any pupils from the school. There are 930 students aged 11 to 16 at the all-boys comprehensive. Patel will be sentenced on November 22 at Liverpool Crown Court
