LONDON: An Indian-origin woman teacher in Britain has admitted that she had sex with two boy-pupils at her home, a court was told.

Thirty seven-year-old Hina Patel, who worked as a teacher, met the boys at her home where they had intercourse, Daily Express reported on Wednesday.

Patel has pleaded guilty to two charges of abusing her position of trust by sexual misconduct with the boys.

She will be sentenced on November 22 at Liverpool Crown Court.

"I am appalled she used her position in such a way. We are relieved we found out at such an early stage."

"But it just shows how you have to be very vigilant and your processes have to be robust," Gary Loveridge, head teacher of the school Birkdale High, Merseyside, was quoted as saying.

Patel was suspended when the allegations came to light earlier this year.
