A teacher could face up to 20 years in prison after she was accused of assaulting an 11-year-old schoolboy.

Anna Plaksyuk, 25, worked at a school in Toksovo in Leningrad Region, Russia, when she is said to have began abusing the child in November 2023. She and the boy would allegedly lock themselves in her classroom during break times and kiss while she "stroked his private parts and let him touch her breasts", local media reported.

The pair also allegedly communicated via text, telling each other they loved each other and swapping X-rated photos. The alleged grooming continued until the child's mother found messages on his phone on January 31 and alerted the school's headteacher and local police.

Plaksyuk was arrested accused of committing violent acts of a sexual nature against a minor. Lawyer Ilya Rusyaev said: "This threatens the teacher with 20 years in prison.

"As a rule, in our country crimes against children are punished very severely, so most likely she will receive a harsh but fair sentence. A child at this age is not only not fully mature but also may not be fully aware of his actions.

"Ultimately, such actions can cause psychological trauma to children. For this purpose, the law establishes an age of consent; in our country, it is 16 years.

"This is incompatible with educational activities and demonstrates ignorance of the basic psychology of the child," he added. "Moreover, this is a violation of the ethics of the profession."

The Investigative Committee for the Leningrad Region told local media: "A criminal case has been opened, and actions are being carried out aimed at establishing all the circumstances of the incident."
