News about Chris Atkinson

A shamed teacher who 'destroyed her life' by having sex with a teenage pupil in a lay-by is now a happily married mother-of-two who has quietly rebuilt her life, MailOnline can reveal. Eppie Sprung Dawson, now 38, lost her marriage and her job after she was discovered half-naked inside a car with the boy by patrolling police officers. Her crime - for which she was spared jail but made to sign the sex offenders' register - had largely been forgotten over the last 12 years until this Thursday when she called a radio phone-in show on prison reform. Following her conviction for the offence after a school Christmas party in 2012, the then 26-year-old's life fell apart. But since then, Sprung, who uses her maiden name, has found love with Chris Atkinson, who runs his own building company.
