Why a female teacher, 38, finally came clean about having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old student
A female teacher has admitted to a secret sexual relationship with a young student as she felt 'unloved' by her husband at home. Laura Ann Hill, 38, a mother-of-two, faces ten years' prison after she was charged with sexual assault against the Alkira Secondary College student in Cranbourne, Melbourne. The maths and 'wellbeing' teacher from the public school, felt 'exhausted' at her family home, the Herald Sun reported. To compensate she went for long drives with her student and engaged in late night hook-ups in public parks for two months, believing she and the 15-year-old were in love. She said they would frequently kiss and talk about their emotions. Hill even visited the student's home to smoke marijuana in the garage before sneaking into her bedroom. Hill recounted how she hid in the girl's closet when her grandmother arrived home. The 38-year-old fronted County Court on Wednesday to plead guilty to a single count of child sexual assault, and five further counts of sexual penetration of a minor. Her lawyer, Anna Dixon, said the 38-year-old was remorseful for her actions and wrote a letter of apology to the teen's mother. Hill's partner had uncovered the offending and directed her to inform the school or he would himself. She contacted her assistant principal and a day later the student filed a police report. Two weeks later, police charged Hill with the offences to which she has pleaded guilty and released her on bail. Despite police prohibitions, Hill continued to contact her victim and secretly met up with her in a playground to engage in sexual acts at midnight. Ms Dixon said Hill's partner later walked out on her with their two children, aged eight and four, and left Hill's 'life in ruins'. She had complex reasons for offending, the lawyer said, including a borderline personality disorder, fantasies of love, and poor understanding of personal boundaries. 'She was feeling unseen, unloved and exhausted – and the very need for powerful intimacy was not being met,' Ms Dixon argued. She said Hill had no history of attraction to other females or children, but the 15-year-old's attention made her feel wanted. Hill also stayed the night with the 15-year-old at her grandfather's home before she was arrested for a second time late last year and kept on remand. The mother-of-two was hired at the school in 2023 to teach math where she also joined the wellbeing staff, hired to help students with behavioural and learning difficulties. She claimed she tried to cut-off the relationship five times before engaging in sexual conduct with the teen. She told the 15-year-old it was not a good idea to kiss, before kissing her anyway. Judge Claire Quin will detail Hill's sentence on August 15. She could be looking at up to ten years behind bars. The 38-year-old has been banned from having personal visits or copies of pictures of her children in her cell due to the nature of her offending.
