THE teacher who was jailed after she groomed and had sex with a 15-year-old pupil in a field had previously dated a teenage toyboy TEN YEARS her junior.
Kandice Barber, 35, was with the 18-year-old when she was 29 and already a mum-of-three, The Sun can reveal.
She met the ‘pretty boy’ footballer in a previous job, not at a school.
Baber – then known as Kandice Keenan – let the lad bring pals round to play on his XBox like a bunch of schoolboys with her children in the house.
When they split she went on to romp with another two staff, who both worked at a leisure centre.
But she then started the affair with her ‘footballer’ again – who is said to bear a scary resemblance to the schoolboy she seduced.
A pal said: “The pupil wasn’t the first time she had gone for a younger bloke.
“He must have been at least ten years younger than her if not more, but he was an adult.
It was a really weird relationship. He was always round at her house playing on the Xbox with a bunch of lads like a child.
A friend told The Sun
“She always had so much energy in bed, maybe that’s why she felt she needed a younger, fitter model.
“But it was a really weird relationship. He was always round at her house playing on the Xbox with a bunch of lads like a child.
“She would bring him food and snacks like she was his babysitter or something.
“He had a real footballer look, a real pretty boy, a total trophy boyfriend – I don’t think she ever denied it.
“It was clear he was there as a bit of a prize for Kandice. He was her little pet.
“He was vain and that was perfect for her.”
After they split she moved onto flings with two of their colleagues, pals say.
A friend told: “I’m sure Kandice didn’t want her toyboy relationship to end.
“When it did she moved on to two of his mates – simple as that. She decided she wanted them, so she got them.
“Then her toyboy came running back. It’s almost impressive in a twisted way.
“She loved to have power over men like that.”
