Under cross examination by Mary McKeone, defending, it emerged the boy first made the allegations after he was suspended for the third time in six months.
The defence claims he invented the story to deflect attention from his poor behaviour.
Expulsion risk
Miss McKeone asked the boy if he remembered going to Miss McIntyre's bedroom, or getting into bed with her - he said he did not.
She added: "Do you remember saying anything to her? Did she speak to you? Was there any conversation?"
Again the boy replied that he could not remember.
Miss McKeone said: "The reason you cannot remember any of these details is because it did not happen, did it?"
The boy said: "It did."
The court heard the boy had been suspended from the £8,000-a-year school for disobedient behaviour and violence against fellow pupils.
He agreed this had left him at risk of expulsion and jeopardised his university plans.
"I was allowed back in school before I made the allegations," the boy said.
Miss McKeone said: "But it certainly took the focus off you."
