A 16-year-old pupil schoolboy who is alleged to have had sexual intercourse with his teacher took drugs, drank heavily and claimed to have also had a relationship with his social worker, a court heard.

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, also accused his brother of raping him when he was eight and had an "addiction" to internet pornography.
He is alleged to have had a 10-month relationship with Theresa McKenzie, 39, the deputy head of a special needs school when he was 16 and 17.
She is facing seven counts of sexual activity with a child while in a position of trust as a teacher but says the allegations against her had been made out of malice.
However, in the six months up until July 2008 she either called or texted him on 600 occasions and the jury at Chester Crown Court has been read notes she wrote the boy addressing him variously as “Sweetheart”, “Babe” and “Gorgeous”.
Under cross examination yesterday, the boy, who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, emotionally disturbed behaviour and oppositional defiant disorder, said the pair started their sexual relationship in his English teacher's car in the car park at Runcorn station before catching a train to London.
He told the court they also had full sex and oral sex in a number of locations including the British Library and a residence in Manchester.
He was asked by defence barrister Tim Roberts QC whether he had mentioned it to friends.
"I said she was a good teacher, but didn't tell them that there was anything sexual between us," he said.
"I didn't want them to know that we were an item.
"I wasn't scared about being found out, but at the time I didn't want it to end. And I loved her, I guess."
The boy, who at times snapped at Mr Roberts when he asked him questions, stormed out of the court on one occasion when asked to look at a collection of photographs of the defendant.
The court heard that he claimed his brother, a teacher, had sexually assaulted him when he was eight and that his brother's wife had performed oral sex on his in a supermarket lavatory. His brother was investigated by the police but no charges were brought.
When he was at the Cheshire school he told another teacher he had had sex with a former teacher in London but said in court that he had made it up.
"And you had sex with your social worker?" the defence lawyer asked. "I told that to Theresa. I wanted to big myself up, literally."
He also admitted he had lied about girlfriends in London and Manchester, as well as having sex with a woman in her 30s, and a prostitute in Switzerland.
Asked why he invented all the stories, he said: "I wanted to make myself look good. I was at a special needs school and I didn't look good."
The teenager told Chester Crown Court he had injected heroin, smoked cannabis, drank 13 to 14 litres of cider a week and taken two overdoses of his prescription drugs.
"You were accessing pornography on the internet and you were fantasising about having a relationship with your teacher, weren't you?" Mr Roberts asked him.
"Yes", the boy replied.
The youngster said he blamed McKenzie for him getting excluded from school.
"I smoked cannabis in the lavatories on purpose," he said.
"I had not one friend in the whole school. I couldn't speak to any of the other teachers.
"If she wouldn't have started a sexual relationship, maybe I wouldn't have fallen in love with her. It is her fault."
McKenzie denies the charges and the case continues.
