A paedophile teacher jailed for seducing a teenage pupil into having sex in a field has been released from prison – despite bending rules in jail to have a fling with a female inmate.
Kandice Barber, 37, is free after serving half her jail term and plans to start rebuilding her life with her three children, EmmanuelsBlog has learned.
How it Happened
Her privileges were revoked after it was discovered she was meeting lover Jay Delaney – a convicted fraudster – while on work release from East Sutton Park Women’s prison in Kent.
Barber and Delaney took selfies together, which were discovered by prison authorities, and sanctions were imposed, including restricted visiting hours.
What Will Happen Next?
But it has not affected her release date and she is believed to be waiting for Delaney to leave prison so they can rekindle their relationship on the outside.
A source said: ‘She can consider herself very fortunate to be released at the halfway point of her sentence after such a serious infringement of prison rules.
‘Although she is now out of jail she will be carefully monitored as a sex offender and will have to register her details and movements with the police.’
A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: ‘Sex offenders face some of the strictest licence conditions and can be put back behind bars if they break the rules at any point in their sentence.’

Details About The Sex Crime
Barber, from Wendover, Bucks, was jailed for six years and two months on March 5th 2021 at Aylesbury Crown Court, making her eligible for release in April.
But because she was convicted and remanded in custody awaiting sentence in January 2021 it meant she could be released at the end of February under supervision by the probation service.
Barber corrupted her 15-year-old victim, sending him topless pictures and a video of herself performing a sexual act.
She began messaging the boy in 2018 after taking his phone number at a school sports day prize-giving.
The texts turned sexual and Barber picked him up in her SUV before driving to a field in October 2018 where they had sex in the secluded spot she had researched online.
