Reports state that a locked-up paedophile who had sex with a 14-year-old student told her friends her ‘hormonal and horny’ pupils would flirt with her.
25-year-old Fatinah Hossain of Dutchells Copse, Horsham, West Sussex, reportedly boasted about how her class would chat her up at the school.
Last week, the “infatuated” teaching assistant was arrested for grooming and having sex with the adolescent pupil over several months.
She offered to pay him to have the accusations against her dropped and said she was pregnant after the boy sought to call off their illegal relationship.
Released on bond in June 2020, Hossain started a campaign of harassment against the youngster and his family in an attempt to halt the police inquiry.

‘You can imagine what kids at that age could be like, so it sounded like a joke’.
‘It’s disgusting looking back now, knowing what she then did.
‘She had a manipulative trait and could also be hot-headed, especially if she felt under attack. She seemed sexually naïve at times.’
The informant further said that Hossain became “infatuated with and obsessive” over individuals she fell in love with.
With threats directed towards at least one child, Hossain sought to control other children to scare them off, approaching police.
She stated she would pay him to “drop the charges” and threatened the youngster and his family under aliases.
Released on bond in June 2020, Hossain started a campaign of harassment directed against the lad and his family to halt the police investigation.
Following charges and appearances before magistrates in October 2020, Hossain sought to arrange a member of the victim’s family by posing as an online underage kid.
She created a series of phoney social media profiles under several aliases, one of which claimed to be a 14-year-old girl.
Hossain filed false allegations to police to have an adult member of the boy’s family arrested and messaged messages to another member of the family trying to get him terminated from his employment.
Relentless’ campaign continued until March this year when police were presented proof the claims were untrue.
Along with one count of sexual behaviour with the lad while under trust, Hossain was charged with distorting the path of justice.
She has been a cover teacher and teaching assistant for the West Sussex school.
Appearing at Brighton Crown Court last Thursday, Hossain was put to prison for five years and four months.
She will also be indefinitely registered as a sex offender.
Judge Jeremy Gold said she had ’embarked on quite a remarkable campaign of harassment’ that was ‘relentless, wide-ranging and malicious’ following the ‘persistent nature of penetrative [sexual] activity over time’.
She has also been issued with a restraining order to last indefinitely, banning her from any contact with the teenage boy and several others, as well as stopping her from entering certain areas of Horsham.
Hossain will be on a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for ten years after she is released from prison
Detective Constable Leigh Rankin of Sussex Police said that Hossain had spun a ‘web of lies and manipulation’.
DC Rankin added: ‘This was a prolonged and distressing campaign, and we are glad that justice has now been done for the boy and the several other people who became entrapped in Hossain’s web of lies and manipulation.
‘Hossain was first arrested in June 2020 following a report that she had groomed and had sex with a 14-year-old boy from a school in Horsham where she was working as a study supervisor and cover teacher.
‘A sexual relationship continued for several months, during which she continued to manipulate the boy’s emotions, including claiming that she was pregnant after he had tried to end the relationship.
‘Hossain was initially released on bail for further investigation. Following this, the victim, his family and friends suffered a prolonged and complex campaign of behaviour against them in an attempt to derail the investigation and avoid justice.’
DC Rankin claimed Hossain intimidated at least one not to talk to police and tried to control other children.
The detective said: “Using fictitious social media accounts, Hossain tried to influence other youngsters, with threats made against at least one other child should they talk to the police.
‘Through fake names, she made significant threats of harm to the boy and his family and said she’d pay him to ‘drop the charges’.
‘Hossain was charged with offences in October 2020 and was bailed by magistrates. She then created several fake social media accounts using different names, including the name of a 14-year-old girl.
‘Using this particular account, she fabricated messages between her and an adult family member of the boy.
‘She then used these fake accounts to have the family member lose his job. She then went on to make multiple false reports to the police from further false accounts in an attempt to get the adult family member arrested.
‘Hossain continued to attempt to make false reports to police until March 2021, when evidence was received to show that she falsified all the allegations against the family. This led to her being further charged and remanded until she was convicted.’
