The twin brother of a boy who received sex notes from teacher Laura Sclater has launched a $2.5-million lawsuit against another teacher, claiming they had repeated sexual encounters including oral sex in a portable classroom.

Sclater made headlines across the country after sending a 13-year-old student more than 65 lurid letters, calling the boy "hottie," and "big stud." She was acquitted of sexual offences in 2002 after a judge found the boy "not credible" as a witness.

Now the boy's identical 22-year-old twin is seeking $2.5 million in damages after alleged repeated sexual encounters with another teacher.

16-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN

The sex with Amy Mullins, a teacher at St. Peter's Secondary School in Barrie, took place in the year 2000 when the twin was a 16-year-old virgin, the statement alleges.

"Mullins' classes were taught in a portable and she would often lock the portable's door and perform oral sex on the plaintiff during school hours," says a statement of claim filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the teacher and the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic district School Board.

The statement claims Mullins did the teen's schoolwork for him and wrote his essays. When the mother found out she moved her son to another school, the claim states.

The relationship continued after graduation and the teacher spent weekends with the twin at Fanshawe College in London where the sex continued, the claim states.

'DEVASTATING'

"The abuse suffered by the plaintiff has had a devastating effect on him," states the claim.

None of the allegations has been proven in court. A statement of defence has not been filed.

Teacher Amy Mullins was removed from the classroom after the allegations.

"At this time, the teacher is no longer in the classroom and will not return to the classroom until the matter is resolved," said Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board's education director, Michael O'Keefe.

"Given that this situation is under investigation and pending litigation, we cannot provide any other details or comments," the school board director said.
