A supply teacher who sent naked photos to a 15-year-old boy saying she wanted to have s3x with him has been locked up.
Married mother-of-one Natalie Arroyo told the ‘vulnerable’ boy she would leave her husband for him and sent him a video of herself performing a s3x act.
The 33-year-old began sending sexual messages to the underage teenager on Snapchat while she was working as a progress coach and a supply teacher.
COURT HEARD
Cardiff Crown Court heard that at first, the conversation was ‘innocent’ but she later began to flirt, telling him: ‘I bet all the boys fancy me. I don’t blame them – I have really big boobs.’
The court heard that the victim told the teacher that he didn’t want to sleep with her but she tried to convince him otherwise.
Arroyo – from the village of Gelli in Rhondda, Wales – sent pictures of herself in a bra and had him send a naked picture in response.
She later asked the boy to come and meet her for s3x and said she would pick him up and could go back to her house.
‘IT’S FUN TO TEASE YOU’
The young victim asked her to stop sending photos as he was out shopping with his mother and aunt and she responded: ‘It’s so fun to tease you.’
The teenager told the court he ‘trusted her’ and feels ‘betrayed and taken advantage of’ but he ‘didn’t know how to stop it’.
She was sentenced to three years and four months in prison. The judge told her: ‘You knew [the victim] was vulnerable and you exploited that. You deployed guile and cunning to manipulate that boy.’
Arroyo continued to send messages of a se3ual nature and told the victim he could ‘do whatever he wanted to her’.
She sent the boy another nude photo and asked him to come and see her as her husband was at work.
He said he didn’t want to and the defendant responded by sending a video of herself performing a s3x act. A couple of days later Arroyo sent a message to the boy saying it was ‘best to forget about the messages’.
The offences came to light after the victim disclosed the abuse to another adult and Arroyo was arrested.
She was interviewed and initially denied having contact with the boy but after a break she accepted she had sent the messages but claimed she thought the boy was 16.
