BARRIE -- Stories of steamy sexual encounters
between a high school teacher and her teenaged student who is claiming
$2.5-million in damages are unfounded, a lawyer said yesterday.
The student, now 22, happens to be the twin brother of the boy whose
allegations brought another teacher, Laura
Sclater, to trial for similar charges five years ago.
"These are serious allegations," said Toronto lawyer Bill Markle. "It
has been very tough on my client."
His client, Amy Mullins, a teacher at St. Peter's high school in
Barrie, is accused of luring the twin brother into sexual encounters
while he was a 16-year-old Grade 11 student and also during his first
year of college.
"Mullins and the plaintiff had sex ... throughout the plaintiff's high
school years," says a statement of claim filed against the teacher and
the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board.
GAVE THEM ALCOHOL
"Mullins' classes were taught in a portable and she would often lock
the ... door and perform oral sex on the plaintiff during school
hours," the document says.
It also alleges the teacher invited several teens to her apartment
where she gave them alcohol and encouraged them to have sex in her
washroom while she had sex with the teen in her bedroom.
But a statement of defence filed with the court flatly denies the
accusations.
"Mullins denies that she made sexual advances toward the plaintiff,
induced him to engage in sexual touching ... or any conduct of a
sexual nature of any kind," it says.
The incidents are alleged to have begun while the twin was a student
at the school in September 2000 -- the same time that his brother was
part of the prosecution against Sclater.
Barrie police are investigating the complaints, but no charges have
been laid. The Simcoe Muskoka school board has removed Mullins from
the classroom.
