A PAEDO teacher and her vile boyfriend have been jailed after they filmed themselves sexually abusing a child.

Zoe Williams, 30, and Thomas Surtees, 37, indulged in sickening fantasies about abusing children over WhatsApp.

Williams, who worked at Ellingham Church of England Primary School, helped Surtees carry out sex attacks on one child.

None of the victims were pupils at the school in Northumberland.

The vile videos were discovered when Surtees was arrested for sexually assaulting young teenagers.

As well as the recordings, the couple also had sexual images of other children as young as two.

Surtees was jailed for 15 years after he admitted 16 child sex offences, while Williams has been locked up for ten years for six offences.

Newcastle Crown Court heard Williams used her position as a primary school teacher to “titillate” Surtees.

She also encouraged her boyfriend to commit further abuse in graphic messages.

After Surtees sent Williams a sick image, she responded it was “hot as f***”.

Police also found video clips on their phones that showed them both sexually abusing a child.

The victim’s mum branded the pair “monsters” and said she was “sick to my stomach” in a victim impact statement.

Williams pleaded guilty to two charges of sexual assault of a child under 13, sexual activity in the presence of a child and three charges of making child abuse images.

Surtees admitted ten charges of sexual assault of a child, one of sexual activity in the presence of a child, three charges of making child abuse images, one of taking an indecent child image and one of sexual communication with a child.

Both will be made subject to a sexual harm prevention order and will serve an extended licence period of five years.

Detective Chief Inspector Les Goodliff, of Northumbria Police, said: “First and foremost, I want to recognise the bravery of the victims in this case.

“It is thanks to their courage these two offenders have been brought to justice for these truly horrendous crimes.

“I hope this helps give the victims a sense of closure and they can continue to build their lives.”
