Read our privacy policy A married dance teacher who “bombarded” a 13-year-old boy with sexual messages has been spared jail. Abusing her position of trust, she sent him “intense” sexual WhatsApp messages and encouraged him to be “touchy” around her to fulfil her own sexual gratification, Bournemouth Crown Court heard. When the victim told Hesse that he had a girlfriend, she responded: “You are 13 and do not have the capacity for that yet…I want you to be able to love me exactly the way I need.” The boy’s mother later discovered the messages and reported them to the police. Judge Richard Onslow chided Hesse for treating the 13-year-old boy as a “romantic figure” who she subjected to “outpourings of love”.
