Lee Smith ( pictured ) had sex with a female pupil on her 15th birthday before embarking on a four-year relationship with her . He has now been jailed . A teacher who got engaged to a former pupil and fathered a baby wit her when she left school has been jailed after he admitted having sex with her when she was just 15 . Lee Smith , 38 , of Bedworth , Warwickshire , also fabricated details on job applications to three schools in the early 2000s , before he was employed as an IT and drama teacher . While at one of the schools he began texting and emailing a 14-year-old girl in his class . Warick Crown Court heard their relationship progressed and Smith lured the girl into his office where he kissed and touched her . Smith left his wife and moved out of the marital home and the pair arranged to meet at his flat on her 15th birthday - where she lost her virginity to him . The court heard they went on to have a long-term relationship after the victim left the school , getting engaged and having a baby together but broke up when the girl was 19 . In 2013 she underwent counselling and finally reported him to the police . When police investigated the girl 's complaints they also discovered Smith had lied on his CV when applying for teaching jobs and had inflated his GCSE grades . Smith pleaded guilty to three charges of sexual activity while in a position of trust and three charges of obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception . The court heard the victim 's family became concerned by his relationship with their daughter when she was at the school and asked Smith , who was in his mid-20s , to visit their home . He told them nothing inappropriate was happening but soon after his marriage broke down and he moved into a flat on his own . His relationship with the girl then progressed to kissing and touching and they met at his flat where they regularly had sex . Prosecutor Ian Speed said : 'The complainant describes becoming close to Mr Smith especially after she was 14 . They then began spending a lot of time together in the defendant 's office after school . 'They developed feelings for each other which moved to kissing and touching each other 's bodies . 'The relationship continued and then became a fully sexual one . 'On her 18th birthday they became engaged and had a daughter , but the relationship ended in 2005 to 2006 , and apart from child contact , they went their separate ways . 'In 2013 she had counselling and that prompted her to contact the police . ' Warwick Crown Court ( pictured ) heard Smith also fabricated details on job applications to three schools . Matthew Barnes , defending , said : 'Even though it was late in the day , he did bring his head out of the sand eventually and pleaded guilty at the start of his trial . 'His health is a major feature of everyday life . He was diagnosed with severe epilepsy in 1995 . 'He suffers even now from mental absences several times a day and has a 'grand mal ' seizure about once a month , as well as having diabetes . 'After the relationship with the girl ended , he did n't embark with another relationship with another underage girl . 'He was emotionally immature and vulnerable , because of the deterioration of his marriage . Recorder Christopher Hotten QC said : 'It is not surprising she felt flattered by your interest in her and eventually felt herself to be in love with you . 'The burgeoning of this relationship was all too apparent to your wife and her parents . 'They all tried to discourage you and warn you off , but you lied to them and pursued the relationship behind their backs . 'You left it up to the victim to choose when you first had sex but in reality sex was inevitable . 'You had provided misleading information about qualifications and you should n't have been a teacher at all . 'You misrepresented your qualifications because you knew you would n't get the jobs otherwise . ' The recorder added : 'The victim should have been pursuing sport and academic activities both of which she excelled at , but she was concentrating on you . 'She says you discouraged her academic activities and friendships with friends her own age . ' Smith was jailed for 18 months for the three sexual offences , to run consecutively with a six-month jail term for the deception charges .
