Female piano teacher, 61, repeatedly had sex with teenage pupil at top private ... trends now
A female piano teacher who repeatedly had sex with a teenage pupil at a £6,500-a-term private school told him 'age is no barrier to intimacy', a court has heard.
Fiona Carrier, 61, allegedly had sex with the schoolboy at her home after plying him with alcohol and food after he began piano lessons at Reading Blue Coat school in Berkshire in the 1990s.
On one occasion, the teacher allegedly told the pupil he would 'not regret learning from a real woman' as she 'pinned' him down and 'encouraged' him to touch her.
Carrier, described as an 'inspiring' and 'unconventional' teacher, is standing trial at Oxford Crown Court charged with multiple counts of indecent assault.
James Keeley, prosecuting, told the court the alleged victim was in his early teens when he began taking lessons at the school - during which Carrier began speaking 'about sexual matters and became physically closer to him'.
He said: 'Lessons then progressed and were held at the defendant’s home and when [he] was there, what the defendant would do [was] she would give him alcohol with an accompanying meal before forcing sexual interaction with him, ending up with [sex] in her bedroom and this happened on about eight occasions.

'And certainly he was an unwilling participant. He uses language, saying he thought he was being raped and after suffering and trying to come to terms with the consequences of this abuse for many years, eventually he decided to go to the police and tell them what had gone on.'
