Teacher jailed for having sex with pupil, 15, is ‘moved away’ from post-prison guard job because she’s ‘too distracting’
A TEACHER jailed for having sex with a 15-year-old pupil has allegedly been moved away from her post-prison job as a security guard - because she's "too distracting".
Kandice Barber, 37, from Princess Risborough in Buckinghamshire, was jailed for six years and two months in 2021 after she was convicted of grooming the teen.
The mum-of-three later worked as a gate guard at a building site in Hounslow, west London while on temporary release.
But the now reports that she has been moved from the job after distracting other workers.
A builder told the newspaper: "She's attractive looking, so she's already proving a hit with the lads, who have no idea about her background.
"It's no secret she's a massive flirt and lots of the staff there have already noticed her."

Another said: "No one knew anything about her until she was photographed. Lots of people were talking about her, but we've not seen her since."
The Mail claims that Barber was moved on to a different site after builders found out about her sordid past.
Barber first flirted with her schoolboy victim in messages sent during a school assembly - before sending him topless snaps.
The mum kissed the boy on the neck and whispered “What do you want to do now?”

She then drove him to a field where they had sex.
Barber's trial judge branded the teacher "beyond despicable" after she was convicted of grooming the teen.
Ex-lovers complained that Barber would demand sex up to five times a day.
She also allegedly insisted on dirty weekends away so she could catch up on her strict sex quota.
'BEYOND DESPICABLE'
It was recently revealed Barber’s husband Daniel had moved on with a new woman - despite originally vowing to stay with his wife through her prison sentence.
A source said he moved out of their home and has been pictured smiling with new lover Charlotte Smith.
They are said to have been dating for several months and are hoping to start a family together soon.
Daniel accompanied Kandice to court every day for her trial, referring to her as his rock.
The Ministry of Justice said prisoners are subject to “tough risk assessments” before they are allowed out on temporary release.
It added: “They must also abide by strict rules and face extra time behind bars if they don’t comply.”
