'I couldn't believe my luck!' 17-year-old's boast as married teacher, 35, avoids prison for spending the night with him

Gary Ralston

Teacher Bernadette Smith (left) was said to be infatuated with student Gary Ralston (right) who has waived his right to anonymity. The obsession cost her job and her reputation, Stirling Sheriff Court heard - but there was no suggestion Mr Ralston had suffered any long-term harm and she was spared jail because she did not take the 'bizarre' conduct further. After Smith pleaded guilty, Gary said that he didn't know how the affair - which is now over - had happened, but said that before it, she was always his favourite teacher.

Gary, who waived his anonymity to speak of their relationship, said Smith had been his favourite teacher before she targeted him for particular attention.

 He said: ‘I was thinking I was quite lucky. A lot of the boys fancied her. I couldn’t believe she was with me. It was the last thing I expected. She said she thought she was going crazy but couldn’t help the way she  was feeling.’
Placing the mother of three under a supervision order yesterday, Sheriff Wyllie Robertson told her she had committed a serious abuse of trust.
He said it was only the fact that she had not gone further with the boy that had saved her from a jail sentence.
