A schoolboy who was groomed into a sexual relationship by a school teaching assistant twice his age says the ordeal has left him traumatised and unable to interact with women. The boy, only known as 'Jack', was 15 when he was seduced more than '50 times' by his then 30-year-old teaching assistant Caroline Berriman, of Oldham, Greater Manchester. But Berriman, who taught at the 1,600-pupil Abraham Moss Community School, avoided jail last week, receiving a suspended two-year sentence - despite admitting two counts of sexual activity with a child. Two years on, 'Jack' appeared on ITV's This Morning to discuss Berriman's sentencing, which he described as 'disgusting', and to urge others in a similar situation to have the courage to come forward.Boy was seduced by Caroline Berriman, from Oldham, ManchesterAppeared on ITV's This Morning with back to camera to protect his identityGoing by 'Jack' he described being groomed by the teaching assistantHe was 15 at time and said it was 'disgusting' Berriman had avoided jail
