Science teacher Eleanor Wilson [photo], is on trial accused of sexual activity with a pupil, and having sex with her teen lover in a plane toilet during a school trip
A teacher grabbed her 16-year-old pupil’s penis on a plane before she led him into the toilet for sex, a court heard.
Eleanor Wilson was 26 when she allegedly romped with the teen during an overnight flight from London’s Heathrow Airport to Africa in August 2015.
Wilson, now 29, from Dursley, Gloucestershire, has pleaded not guilty to four charges of abuse of position and sexual activity with a child.
Bristol Crown Court heard how she was perched on one leg in the cramped toilet while they had full intercourse.
Their relationship was exposed when a jealous friend of the victim tried to blackmail her into having sex with him.
In a police interview played to the court, the boy said: “She ran her hand around my penis. I was wearing jogging bottoms. I carried on and then she slid her hand down my boxers, there was a little foreplay.

The science teacher allegedly had sex with a teenage pupil in the toilet of a plane as they returned from a school trip, a court has heard.
Eleanor Wilson, 29, is accused of touching the boy as she sat next to him on the flight before beckoning him into the toilet and performing oral sex on him. They then had full sex in the cubicle, court documents state.
Bristol crown court heard that Wilson later told the boy she was pregnant and he was the father, but that she would have an abortion.
Prior to the allegations the science teacher was deemed a bright and capable teacher. With her reputation now in tatters, Eleanor Wilson [left], marches toward the Bristol Crown Court where her trial for sexual exploitation of a minor is being heard
“That went on for a bit. Then she proceeded to go into the toilet. She called me in. I walked in closed the door and locked the door.
“We proceeded to kissing and touching and at this point she had my hand down her boxers.
“From there, she pulled down my jogging bottoms and she was placed on her knees.
“My back was against the wall and she was knelt in front of me. Then when she stood up my trousers were down anyway and she pulled her trousers down.
“It became difficult it wasn’t working – she’s very tall.”
After they had full sex the boy recalls having a “very brief conversation” with her on how they were going to get out of the toilet.

Long after the trip, the pair exchanged telephone numbers and even had a reunion meal at a restaurant, where he gave her flowers and chocolate.
After returning home, their “clandestine” relationship continued, with Wilson and the teenager going for a meal at Nando’s with others from the trip, the jury was told.
They also allegedly had days out together at Tintern Abbey in Monmouthshire and Ashton Court near Bristol, went for pub meals and drank pints of cider together.
The court heard that the boy bought Wilson flowers and chocolates and showed her his bedroom, where they kissed.
Virginia Cornwall, prosecuting, told the court how the pair became close during the outdoor camping holiday to Africa.
They would ‘pair up’ for activities and stay up late talking after other teachers and pupils had gone to bed, which led to an “erosion of boundaries”.
A month later, at school, Wilson told the boy that she was pregnant, and he could be the father but that she would get an abortion, the court heard.
“She grabbed his organ” “She grabbed his member” “She grabbed his penis” Well, which is it? Did she grab his throbbing boner or what?
