Pupil who claims she slept with teacher on his wife’s wedding dress says they had a ‘sex fest’ while watching porn
Music teacher Simon Ball is accused of sexually abusing three young girls
A FORMER boarding school student had a "sex fest" with her teacher at his home after watching porn with him, a court has heard.
Music teacher Simon Ball, 42, would also "sneak" into the victim's home at night and have sex with her while her parents slept, it was alleged.
On the second day of his trial at Peterborough Crown Court, the jury of seven men and five women were shown police interviews with the main alleged victim.
The jury were also shown a police interview where one of the "talented" former students described a time she went to Ball's house and had sex with him after watching adult pornography.
In the footage she said: "I remember him putting pornography on while we were in the living room and it was just like, it was just a sex fest. It was sex all night."
The court previously heard how Ball had sex with the victim on his wife's wedding dress on the floor of a spare room in his small terraced house in North Yorkshire.
The victim told the court: "He asked me to have sex on his wife's wedding dress and we did.
"He got it out and he laid it on the floor and we had sex on top of it and he put it back in the cupboard."
She continued: "I just remember the whole way through the relationship I hated his wife. I absolutely hated her.
"I just remember she was there sometimes, was around school and I absolutely hated her and he [Ball] just made me have this feeling about her that she was a complete and utter cow.
"And I remember when he suggested doing that on her wedding dress it was like 'she's a b****' and 'lets do it'.
"I just remember the whole way through I just absolutely hated her."
Simon Ball sexually abused three young girls while working at one independent school, but escaped prosecution before offending again at a second school, Peterborough Crown Court was told.
He was a teacher at a North Yorkshire school when the first alleged offences happened in the early 2000s.
Gregory Perrins, prosecuting, said Ball accepted a job at an independent school in Cambridgeshire while an investigation into the allegations was continuing, was given a positive reference from the North Yorkshire school and was not charged.
But the 42-year-old was suspended from the Cambridgeshire school last year following allegations made by another pupil.
The prosecutor said Ball had sex with one of the girls in different locations and on multiple occasions, including in the school music room and even on top of his wife's wedding dress at his house.
Ball has since separated from his wife, who is expected to give evidence against him at the trial.
He added that it's alleged Ball had sex with one pupil in her bedroom while her parents were at home, and on one occasion a condom split and Ball took the girl to get a morning-after pill.
During cross-examination, the victim, now in her late twenties, said she is "100 per cent sure" that Ball managed to get her the morning after pill without her actually being present.
She also told the court of an incident when she and another victim went to Ball's house after shopping and both of them had sex with him at his home.
The girl initially denied that the incidents happened as she ";thought she was in love with him" but gave her account to police when officers approached her in 2015.

The girl's friend had retracted a statement she gave at the time as she feared it would cost her a friendship, the court heard.
He denies a string of indecency and sexual assault charges, but has admitted other offences.
Mr Perrins told jurors: "You're going to hear he has pleaded guilty to a number of charges arising out of those allegations.
"Police then had cause to revisit allegations made at his previous school and that's why there's been a significant delay between the offences we say were committed then and 2015."
The court heard one of the girls walked into a police station last year and told officers she had been in a consensual sexual relationship with her teacher, which continued while she was at university.
Ball, of Greenwich, London, admitted five counts of engaging in sexual activity while in a position of trust at the school in Cambridgeshire at a previous hearing.
He denies four counts of indecent assault and five counts of engaging in sexual activity while in a position of trust at the school in North Yorkshire between 2001 and 2004.
The charges, which involve three girls in their early teens, range from holding a girl's hand under a blanket on a school trip to penetrative sex.
He said Ball joined the North Yorkshire school as a newly qualified teacher straight out of university and got married in a ceremony in the school grounds.
Ball touched two girls inappropriately on a school trip and "groomed" one of the girls in the following years, escalating the abuse, Mr Perrins said.
The court heard that allegations were made at the time but the school's investigation was "seriously lacking".
The trial continues.
