A former teacher has admitted having sex with two 15-year-old boys in parked cars, often telling the victims she loved them and sending her victims explicit videos.
She also engaged in group sex with the victims, having sex in cars with tinted windows parked in public places.
The 37-year-old woman,who was a high school teacher at the time of the offending, has been granted continued name suppression.
She appeared in Blenheim District Court today and pleaded guilty to seven charges of unlawful sexual connection with minors, and one of exposing a minor to indecent material over a year-long period.
The charges related to alleged offending between November 2017 and December last year.
The court heard how the woman was a wellness co-ordinator at the school she worked at until May this year. She would talk to the victims about mental health problems and tell the victims not to worry about school attendance because she could "help".
Before a packed public gallery, hands clasped, she stared straight ahead as she listened to the charges.
She admitted seven charges of unlawful sexual connection with minors, and one of exposing a minor to indecent material over a year-long period.
