She was watching the court, now she’s at court.
A British gym teacher had sex with her teenage student while watching Wimledown — and insisted he call her “Miss,” prosecutors said at her trial on Wednesday.
Bronwen James, 30, allegedly sparked a “flirtatious” relationship with the 16-year-old boy before secretly messaging him on Snapchat to arrange hookups, the UK Sun reported.
Bronwen James, a 30-year-old gym teacher, accused of having sex with a student at her home while watching Wimbledon.

The CPS claims the Wiltshire educator engaged in a “sexually charged relationship” with the youngster, declaring she “loved him” and wanted to “move away” together.
The alleged abuse unfolded while James was working as a physical education teacher at Bitterne Park School in Southampton, England, the Sun reported.
James routinely allowed students to use mobile phones during lessons, which is when the boy first begged for her Snapchat handle — a boundary-crossing request she at first rejected, Prosecutor Edward Culver said.
“She initially refused his attempts to add her on Snapchat but then chose to do so,” Culver told the court.
“They started to message each other. The messages became flirtatious. The two met up and went to Weston Shore. They kissed in the car,” the prosecutors said.
Wimbledon tennis was on at the time of the assaults, and at James’ house “they began watching TV, before kissing and touching each other.”

They allegedly proceeded to have unprotected sex.
The alleged victim said that he thought the relationship was “good” at first and now realizes that James “groomed” him.
James denied the accusations and gave a prepared statement to the court, according to reports.
The jury was discharged in the case on Wednesday, according to the BBC — stalling the trial until Thursday, when a new jury will be sworn in.
