WHAT’S THE VERDICT? It took under three hours for the jury to decide that Brittni Colleps was guilty. Colleps was convicted of 16 counts of having improper relationships with students. In August 2012, she was sentenced to five years in prison. After the trial, Colleps said she was at a ‘dark point’ in her life when she had sex with the teens, but maintains she did not do anything unlawful. ‘In no way, shape, or form was I ever preying on anybody,’ she said in a TV interview. ‘I never coerced anybody to do anything. I never bribed anybody to do anything. I didn’t offer grades in exchange for anything.’ She also claimed she was victimised, as she hadn’t given her consent to be filmed while having sex. She and…

Maggie Martin, 50, Cramlington Strapping up my boots, I grabbed my rucksack and headed out for a day hiking in the Simonside Hills, Northumberland. ‘Into the wild!’ I grinned. I loved spending time outdoors, and if I wasn’t hiking, I was kayaking, climbing, wild camping. Although I’d been a climbing instructor for years, I liked venturing out alone. I’d tried organised groups, but found myself surrounded by ‘mansplaining’ men, who assumed that I didn’t know what I was doing. Frustrating! So it was far more peaceful going it alone. But when four of my girlfriends asked if they could join me, in March 2019, I loved the idea. ‘Let’s do it!’ I smiled. I agreed, once a month, I’d plan an adventure for the five of us to go on.…

Jealous of his fans Q My boyfriend of four years has a huge following and is famous. I really love him but struggle with jealousy, although he’s never done anything to make me doubt him for a minute. He’s talented, funny and handsome, and I can see why people fancy him. I’ve seen women flirt with him and feel terrified he’ll leave me. I even look through his posts and comments to see if anyone is flirting. We’ve had a few arguments because I’ve questioned his friendships on social media. I know that it’s my issue but how can I fix it before I lose him? Anon, 27 A Well done for acknowledging it’s your issue, because it is. The poor fella’s done nothing wrong! What happened in your past?…

Emily Gibbons, 24, from Bolton Scrolling through Facebook, I spotted photos of a friend holding her newborn baby.‘That’ll be us soon,’ I whispered softly. It was February 2020 and I’d just found out I was six weeks pregnant. It felt like a miracle – the doctors had always said I’d struggle to conceive, due to polycystic ovary syndrome. Yet here I was, having my first baby with my boyfriend Nathan Lowerson, then 24. We’d only been together for a few months but we were both excited. However, the following week, as I sat on the loo… ‘I’m bleeding!’ I yelped. Nathan rushed me straight to Royal Bolton Hospital for an emergency scan. Clutching his hand, I froze as a blob appeared on the screen. ‘What’s that flickering light?’ I asked,…

Q What’s a UK Global Health Insurance Card and do I need to pay for one? A The GHIC is the new replacement for the European Health Insurance Card and they are free. So when your EHIC expires, you’ll be able to replace it with a GHIC. However, Direct Line Travel Insurance has warned that some online companies are claiming you can apply for GHICs via them - and charging a fee to do it. So, make sure you visit the official website, ghic.org.uk - there’s more information about it on there.…

Can I get my bits trimmed? Q My vagina lips are huge and floppy. They’re embarrassing! Can I have them trimmed on the NHS? Meg, Spalding A Your inner lips or labia minora, the two folds of skin beside the entrance to your vagina, enlarge around puberty. Sometimes they grow unusually large and floppy – this is just the way you are and doesn’t mean anything’s wrong. But having very large lips is called labial hypertrophy and can be a nuisance. The labia might cause an embarrassing bulge, or chafe and become sore. Sometimes they might interfere with sex, or activities like cycling or running. Unless the enlargement’s severe, there’s usually no need for any treatment apart from wearing loose clothes to prevent rubbing, and avoiding soap, perfumes and shaving in…

WEDDING-DAY KILLER On 23 October 1983, Basil and Avril Laitner had just celebrated the wedding of their daughter Suzanne at their home in Dore, Sheffield, when a stranger named Arthur Hutchinson, 42, broke in. Hutchinson butchered Basil, 59, Avril, 55, and their son Richard, 28. The killer was on the run for 39 days before being captured. In 1984, Hutchinson was found guilty of three murders and also of rape. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. Now 80, he will die in prison. POSTCODE GANG WAR Jonathan Matondo, 16, was shot dead In October 2007. His body was found near a basketball court in Burngreave, Sheffield. The youngster, who dreamt of becoming a preacher, was killed in an increasingly vicious ‘postcode war’ between rival gangs, S3 and S4. He was…

Emily Bailey, 35, Oundle, Northamptonshire Slipping on my trainers, I stepped into the fresh air and headed for a run. ‘See you back here,’ I waved to my friend Emma, setting off on our usual Tuesday-night 5km circuit. I loved the feeling of freedom it gave me. It was November 2019, and I’d suffered anxiety for years, but running helped me clear my head and regain focus. I was 22 the first time I had a panic attack. I worked in an office doing admin, and out of nowhere I was gripped with a tightness across my chest. ‘I can’t breathe,’ I managed. It was terrifying. I was rushed to hospital and thought I was having a heart attack. But tests showed everything was normal, so doctors presumed that it…

As Nathan and I looked at Myles, a nurse came up to us. ‘Don’t fret,’ she said. ‘Babies have closed eyes until around 27 weeks gestation. They’ll open properly soon.’ More worrying were his ears – just tiny flaps with no cartilage – and his lungs weren’t strong enough for him to breathe unaided, so he needed an oxygen tube. I thought sadly about friends on Facebook, proudly posting pics of first cuddles. My baby was too frail even to be held. The tiniest nappies and clothes were too big, and the nurses said he was one of the smallest prem babies they’d treated. As I recovered from surgery, we spent hours in the Neonatal Unit. Myles wasn’t strong enough to breastfeed, but I expressed milk for him to be…

Sandy Abrams, 54, Cheshire Settling in for the evening, I cuddled up with my cats Freddie, Ziggy, Alfie and Robbie. Bliss! I thought, sandwiched between their warmth. I loved cosy nights watching TV in bed. It was February 2019, and I’d spent a lovely day with a friend. But I’d lived alone for years. The comfort of my kitties on an evening was all I needed to feel safe. I’d served as a police officer for Merseyside in my 20s, you see. Then I’d moved to America in 1995 to marry my then boyfriend. I eventually divorced and came back to the UK in 2013, getting a job as a supplier for Bentley. But I was grateful for the skills five years on the beat had given me. Now 53,…

Rhea Martin, 24, Stockport My boyfriend Luke cleared a space on the living room floor. ‘I’m doing an Instagram live workout – fancy it?’ he asked. ‘Sure,’ I laughed. It was October 2020 and I’d still not shifted the dress size I’d gained during the first lockdown. Luke, a personal trainer, and I often exercised together. We’d met in a bar just a year earlier. Despite recently moving in together, we were still in the honeymoon phase. Yes, we’d tentatively talked about marriage, maybe kids one day. We’d jokingly bandied around baby names we liked – Myles for a boy. But for now, all that could wait. Luke was 27 and I was only 23 years old. Plenty of time for all that. Besides, I was busy job hunting after…

YOU’RE THE JUDGE! Hey… It’s Coach Colleps. Do you know what time the baseball game starts? An innocent-enough message, many would agree, sent by Brittni Colleps, then 27, in spring 2011, to a boy named ‘Aaron’. Aaron was an 18-year-old athlete at the school where Brittni was a teacher and coach. But within 24 hours of this first message, things had taken an incredibly inappropriate turn. The conversation was no longer about sports. It had become extremely explicit, with Colleps admitting to her student she was an anything goes in sex kinda girl. I like pullin’ hair, bitin’, scratchin’, spanking, I even like being choked, Colleps wrote. She discussed her favourite sex toys and, from there, it only became more graphic. An English teacher at Kennedale High School in Arlington,…

Stephanie Castelete-Tyrrell, 26, Northampton True-life PATIENT CASEBOOK On first hearing of COVID-19, I’d no idea how monumentally it’d affect me. In February 2020, I left my buzzing uni life in Bristol, and my hubby and I moved back in with my mum and two brothers in Northampton. You see, I was extremely clinically vulnerable. I have congenital muscular dystrophy, a life-limiting muscle-wastage condition that causes respiratory problems as well. You must shield, a letter warned me. Then, that March, we went into lockdown. My grandad moved in, too, and as COVID-19 closed in, we didn’t set foot outdoors. ‘I want to document this,’ I said to my family one day. ‘Just us at home?’ they asked. That was exactly it. I wanted to put a spotlight on the struggles endured…

3 ways to… use less water in your garden You can not only save water but money, too, when you’re looking after your garden this summer. We show you how… 1 Take it easy When you use a hosepipe, you’ll typically use around 16ltr of water a minute. The Energy Saving Trust (energysavingtrust.org.uk) says by fitting a hose-gun attachment to your hose – which helps you control where and when you use water in the garden – you’ll use up to 50% less water. However, it says you should think about using a watering can first to save even more. 2 Use it or lose it Make the most of the rain by collecting it in a water butt. They come in lots of shapes and sizes and can hold…

Kerry Head, 50, Derby Holding my hands up to admire my manicure, I grinned. ‘Shall I paint yours?’ I asked my little girl Emily, then 6. ‘We’re not allowed to have nail polish at school,’ she shrugged. ‘Just a clear one?’ I suggested. ‘No, Mummy, I’ll get into trouble.’ I smiled. She was stubborn as anything, my Emily, a stickler for the rules. While her big brother was often getting told off, she was rarely in trouble. Chalk and cheese they were, but close as anything. By their teens, they were going on nights out together, or playing computer games. The three of us loved messing about, having water fights, photobombing strangers and singing to Lily Allen in the car. But when her brother left for university, things changed. In…
