Richard Perrin, a teacher from Ledbury, in Herefordshire, was jailed for two years at Worcester Crown Court yesterday after pleading guilty to charges of abuse of a position of trust and penetrative sexual activity.

Richard Perrin, 50, also sent naked photographs of himself to the victim before his arrest in June, Worcester Crown Court was told.

He pleaded guilty at a previous hearing to six counts of sexual activity with a child.

The judge told Perrin at the hearing on Friday that the offences beggared belief.

Perrin was required to register as a sex offender for life and was made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order.
