Teacher jailed for sexual abuse in Australia

A female Australian teacher was jailed on Thursday for seducing a 14-year-old special needs student and having an 18-month sexual relationship with him.

The 27-year-old woman was sentenced to six-and-half years' jail in Queensland after pleading guilty to seven charges, including maintaining a sexual relationship with a minor, reported Xinhua news agency.

The special education teacher was 23 when she seduced the intellectually impaired student in 2011.
