The 27-year-old woman was sentenced to six-and-half years' jail in Queensland after pleading guilty to seven charges, including maintaining a sexual relationship with a minor, reported Xinhua news agency.

The special education teacher was 23 when she seduced the intellectually impaired student in 2011.
