A teacher who had sex with a 15-year-old pupil in the back of her car has walked free from court.
Siobhan McLean, 33, met the boy in her role at a secondary school in Lanarkshire.
McLean, of Airdrie, Lanarkshire, contacted him on social media and they began exchanging messages. McLean, a mother-of-one, later arranged to meet at a university union where they enjoyed a night out including drinking alcohol.
But when they went back to a flat McLean and the boy began kissing which led to them having sex.
Days later she arranged to see him again before they had sex in the back of her BMW in a secluded car park at Craignethan Castle near Blackwood, Lanarkshire.
The boy's mother later became alarmed after hearing him saying 'I love you' during a phone call.
He claimed he was talking to a friend but his phone was confiscated and revealed intimate messages from McLean and police were called in.
McLean appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court and admitted engaging in sexual activity with the boy in September last year.
Sheriff Liam Murphy ordered her to carry out 300 hours of unpaid work and put her under supervision for three years.
McLean will be tagged for 12 months and is banned from having unsupervised contact with children other than her own.
