The teenager told the tribunal US-born Ms Wise was holding one counselling session in his bedroom when things suddenly escalated and she began rubbing her leg against his.

He said Ms Wise became 'more and more touchy, holding his hand and putting it against her cheek' before he playfully pushed her and she suddenly 'jumped on top of me.'

He said she straddled him with her knees either side of him and she 'was trying to pin my hands down,' said the boy.

The married psychologist was then said to have 'let me know that her husband had a 24 hour shift the next day and that I was welcome to go to hers for a free session'.

'He reports that [Ms Wise] undressed him, then herself and they engaged in sexual intercourse ...[The teenager] says that [Ms Wise] then performed oral sex on him.'

The following day, Ms Wise texted the teen: 'I'm sooo sore this morning!! Woke up smelling you on me (smiley emoji) Don't write back, just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you (heart emoji) PS you should delete all my texts (three emojis)'
