Version 0 of 3.

A teenage boy has told a court how a drunken game of dares led to sex with his teacher at a top public school.

The boy was aged 16 at the time of the alleged incident with Hannah McIntyre, a trainee classics teacher at Merchant Taylor's Boys' School, Merseyside.

He told Liverpool Crown Court he had lost his virginity with the 25-year-old and had been "really down" about it.

Ms McIntyre, of Waterloo, denies one count of sexual activity with a child by a person in a position of trust.

Giving evidence at her trial on Tuesday, the boy - now an 18-year-old undergraduate - told the jury he had gone to her home with two friends "for a laugh".

He said after talking for a while she bought them two-litre bottles of cider which got them drunk.

Then she kissed me... it was quite passionate Alleged victim

"My friend dared her to kiss me but she was saying she shouldn't have to do that because it was a 'big deal'," he told the jury.

Ms McIntyre relented on condition that the other two boys pecked each other on the lips, he said.

"Then she kissed me. It was quite passionate," he added.

Afterwards, the court heard, the boys spent the night in the living room of her home.

The witness, who cannot be named, said he could not remember following her into her bedroom because he was so drunk.

Drunken evening

But he told the jury that once they were in bed Ms McIntyre took off her pyjama bottoms and they had sex.

When he next saw Ms McIntyre - at school after the weekend - neither spoke to each other or acknowledged the incident.

Later, the teacher and the three boys conspired to keep the drunken evening secret, he said.

But almost a year later the boy was questioned by his mother and he said he told her what had happened

The trial continues.
