   A teacher has been jailed for 10 years for having sex with two   
   pupils, one of whom he "groomed".   
      
   The girls were at different secondary schools in north-east   
   Suffolk where Alex Brown had taught between 2015 and 2017.   
      
   Brown, 35, now of Leeds, admitted 11 offences at an earlier   
   hearing.   
      
   The judge at Ipswich Crown Court described one of the victims as   
   a "damaged, vulnerable, easily-targeted 15-year-old in your   
   care".   
      
   Brown, now of Spibey Lane, Rothwell, admitted eight charges of   
   sexual activity with a female and three of taking indecent   
   images.   
      
   The court heard one girl was just under 16 years old, while the   
   other was just over 16.   
      
   'Explicit detail'   
   Suffolk Police said they were alerted to Brown's activities in   
   October 2017 by one of the schools.   
      
   In mitigation, defence lawyer Andrew Oliver said the teacher was   
   remorseful and had apologised.   
      
   "He knows he has devastated his direct victims, and also those   
   close to him," he said.   
      
   Mr Oliver said the teacher, who has two young children, had been   
   having marriage difficulties and was "lonely".   
      
   Since the case came to light, he said, his marriage had ended   
   and he had moved back in with his parents.   
      
   Sentencing, Judge David Goodin said he had "betrayed" the trust   
   of children "who, as often as not, are not aware of what their   
   best interests are".   
      
   With regard to the younger victim, the judge said "I think   
   grooming is the word", while the older victim had "respected,   
   admired and liked" the teacher.   
      
   The judge said: "You're not a fool - you've had safeguarding   
   training. You knew exactly what you were doing."   
      
   He described some the messages found on Brown's phone as   
   "recording in the most explicit detail the activities you were   
   engaged in".   
      
   Brown will be the subject of a Sexual Offences Prevention Order   
   on his release.
