Aveesha Ahsan, 33, (outside Inner London Crown Court) is accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl
A female teacher accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old pupil told the girl she would kill herself if they did not get married, court heard.
Aveesha Ahsan, 33, from Lewisham, south east London, allegedly assaulted the teen and told her she could not live without her.
She hugged and kissed the student after offering to buy her gifts including a Kindle, prom dress and make-up, Inner London Crown Court has heard.
In one message the maths teacher wrote: ‘Why did I ask you to marry me, do you really think it was to do some disgusting stuff?
‘It is just so we can live together and I can talk to you every day.
‘I want to marry you, I cannot live without you, promise I won’t touch you because I know you don’t like it.
‘You are like absorbing water from my insides, ooft I know you don’t like it when I talk like that.’
The pupil wrote: ‘This is so funny to you but I already told you I don’t like it.’
Ashan assaulted the girl by forcing her to hug and kiss her, the court was told.
She also asked her if she had ever been raped by a Pakistani man, jurors heard.
The girl told the court: ‘She always wanted to know everything about me.
‘Her asking all these thing made me feel angry and obviously I was emotional and tearful – why is she always bringing up bad events.’
‘She was talking about her sexual life – a girl tried to come onto her while she was in her country but she didn’t like it.
Ashan (outside Inner London Crown Court earlier in her trial) allegedly told the girl: ‘I want to marry you, I cannot live without you’
‘And the fact that she always tried to come onto me, I just thought it was in a sexual manner.’
The maths tutor tried to give the pupil’s fees back and messaged: ‘I don’t want to take money from you, I don’t want to put haram in my blood.’
The pupil was 16 at the time of the alleged offences and Ashan was working for a tutorial college in south London.
The complainant initially reported the behaviour to another teacher, Massa Hussain.
Mr Hussain said: ‘The tutor was trying to kiss her and was touching her up.
‘She didn’t tell me any names but she described her, she said she was Asian and that she wore a headscarf.’
Ahsan denies sexual assault and sexual activity with a child by a person in a position of trust.
The trial continues.
