Husband of paedophile teacher Kandice Barber ‘dumps her & moves on with new girlfriend’ despite vowing to stay together
THE husband of paedophile teacher Kandice Barber is said to have dumped her and moved on - despite vowing to stay by her side.
The sex-obsessed mum was jailed for six years and two months in March 2021 after being found guilty of having sex with a 15-year-old pupil in a field.
When the verdict was read out in court Barber's loyal husband Daniel shouted "it's a joke", before swearing to stand by her side while she was behind bars.
Daniel had even stood behind the dock amid the trial - referring to his wife as his "rock" as he defended her.
Last February, a year after the disgraced teacher was locked up, her mum confirmed the pair were still together.
However, the couple were said to have split in the months that followed - with Daniel appearing to have moved on.

"There's no sign of him there these days."
The Sun has contacted Daniel for comment.
Barber, who worked at a school in Princes Risborough, Bucks, had added herself to a teen boy’s Snapchat account in September 2018 and exchanged messages that became sexual.
She sent him a topless picture and a video of a sexual act before, in October 2018, going to a field with him to have sex.
In 2021, Barber, from Wendover, was convicted of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
Amid the trial loyal Daniel said he was unaffected by his wife's conviction for sending X-rated pictures.
The delivery driver added: "Our relationship is how it is today, it has never changed.
"We have always been good and we have always been strong."
He added: "When my wife is on the phone, I am not one of those people who constantly looks at her to see who she is on the phone to. I have full faith in her."
The mum-of-three was branded "beyond despicable" by the judge who sent her down.
