The husband of a Exmouth teacher who was branded a "sordid adulteress" when she was jailed for having sex with two teenage boys has pledged to stand by her.
Jennifer Philp-Parsons, 46, seduced two 16-year-old pupils, inviting them to alcohol-fuelled parties at her home.
On one occasion, she had sex with one of the boys while her husband Jake, 45, slept upstairs, jurors were told.
On another, the mother-of-three bedded both boys within an hour, Exeter Crown Court heard.
The former head of music was jailed by judge Francis Gilbert for two and a half years in September last year.
But her husband has now said he is determined to stick by her - and has been visiting her in prison every month with their children.
He told Closer magazine: "Family and friends have been shocked by my decision to stay with Jennifer.
"But I know now she is sorry and would do anything to take it back. It has torn our family apart.
"But even though people may not understand, I know she regrets her actions deeply.
He added: "What she did was very wrong and I am still so angry with her.
"I am ashamed of what she has done. I know she has committed an offence, but I can't think of her as a sex offender. We have been together 24 years and have three kids. It is hard to stop loving someone."
Last year, the court heard how the teacher groomed the two victims and invited them to alcohol-fuelled parties at her home in April and May last year.
Mr Philp-Parsons told the magazine he had 'no idea' his wife had sex with one of the boys while he slept upstairs.
He said after the act, his wife 'acted normally' and he had 'no reason' to be suspicious.
Exeter Crown Court heard the mother-of-three slept with one of the boys while her husband was asleep upstairs at their Exmouth, Devon home.
The teacher admitted three charges of sexual activity with a male aged between 13 and 17 while in a position of trust in court last year.
