A married teaching assistant who performed a string of sex acts on a 15-year-old boy during an international flight has been jailed for 32 months.
Jill Meldrum-Jones, 37, also committed further offences against the boy while on a school trip after becoming "consumed with lust" and losing her grip on reality, Coventry Crown Court was told.
Meldrum-Jones, from Kineton in Warwickshire, sobbed in the dock as prosecutor Stefan Kolodynski told how the mother-of-two performed a sex act on the boy three times while on board a jet returning to the UK.
The disgraced teaching assistant, who performed three other sex acts on the victim during the flight, pleaded guilty at a previous hearing to a total of seven charges of sexual activity with a child and inciting sexual activity.

I'll have a special Midlands Today report on concerns that building the high-speed rail network HS2 could disrupt the region's roads.
HS2 crosses several motorways under the proposed project. Transport bosses are worried about the impact on already congested networks.

A permanent display to Dr Who theme composer Delia Derbyshire opened at The Coventry Music Museum last year where director Pete Chambers has been campaigning for a road named in her honour.
Derbyshire Way will be included in a new development off Blackberry Lane in Stoke Heath.
Image source, Pete ChambersThe museum plans to celebrate what would have been Delia's 80th birthday next year with, it hopes, an official naming ceremony.
Pete Chambers said: "I firmly believe that if she were alive today Delia would have triple 'D' status, she would be Dame Delia Derbyshire; sadly that will never happen. So it's wonderfully fitting that there is something in her native Coventry dedicated to this very special lady."
