EPISODIUM
Sleeping with Teacher is an intriguing portrayal of four very different true stories of teacher-pupil relationships. Through personal interviews with both pupils and teachers, this fascinating documentary explores all sides of the controversy.
Former music teacher John, aged 43, began a relationship with his 16-year-old pupil Claire. Claiming they are in love, they have maintained their relationship despite constant hounding from the press and living amongst a disapproving community. English teacher Lucy is still a registered sex offender seven years after her relationship with a 15-year-old boy. Meanwhile, Rachel's story highlights why society fears such relationships: she was just 16 when her PE teacher seduced her. And teacher Jonathan describes how harrowing it can be to face false allegations of sexual assault.
