   A science teacher who groomed a 15-year-old pupil with sexually   
   explicit messages has been jailed for 14 months.   
      
   Father-of-three Syed Raza, a teacher in Bedfordshire, exchanged   
   more than 1,250 texts and 125 calls with the boy, and gave him a   
   'Mr Perfect' Mr Men figure.   
      
   Raza, 46, admitted engaging in sexual communication with a child   
   between September and December 2017.   
      
   Judge Richard Foster called Raza's offences "disgusting,   
   unacceptable and a gross breach of trust".   
      
   He said: "There was clear evidence of grooming and planning. You   
   were using Snapchat - knowing those messages disappear once   
   read. You told him to delete messages and changed your name. You   
   knew what you were doing was wrong."   
      
   He added: "You have fallen from grace and lost your career as a   
   teacher. You only have yourself to blame for that."   
      
   'I wish you were my son'   
   Luton Crown Court heard Raza, of Blakeney Drive, Luton, would   
   tell the boy about his sex life with his wife, and send him   
   messages confessing his love.   
      
   In one message read to the court, he wrote: "Missing you and   
   wishing you were here. I love you. I wish you were my son and   
   don't you wish you could live with me?"   
      
   After a heart attack in October, the teacher sent the teenager   
   pictures of himself in his hospital bed.   
      
   The relationship was discovered when the boy's mother found a   
   portable speaker and a 'Mr Perfect' Mr Men figure the teacher   
   had bought him.   
      
   When she checked his phone she found explicit messages and   
   called the police.   
      
   In a statement after his arrest, Raza said he had only been   
   having banter and had no sexual interest in the boy.   
      
   The victim said in a personal statement that he was "quite   
   confused" by what happened and was not now comfortable being   
   alone with teachers.   
      
   'Disgraceful behaviour'   
   Mitigating, Adam Budworth said Raza had references from family   
   neighbours and colleagues, and apologised for his behaviour.   
      
   "He accepts it is quite unforgivable. He accepts it was   
   disgraceful behaviour," he said.   
      
   "He is never going to work in teaching again."   
      
   Det Con Zac Kozlowski said: "Raza abused his position of trust,   
   his behaviour was completely unacceptable and he took advantage   
   of a child."   
      
   Raza must register as a sex offender and abide by the terms of a   
   sexual harm prevention order for 10 years.
