Mum jailed for sex with boy

The 40-year-old woman, who cannot be named, was sentenced at the Victorian County Court on Monday to at least three years and six months in prison. The woman had pleaded guilty to the persistent sexual abuse of a child under the age of 16 over her relationship with the boy, who was her daughter's friend. In 2011 the then 36-year-old began driving her daughter and the boy to school. The woman has admitted she started developing feelings for the boy and began a sexual relationship with him.

The pair had sex once a week over a five-month period and did not use condoms, the court was told. "You failed to recognise that your feelings for the boy were completely inappropriate," the judge said. "You commenced and continued an abusive sexual relationship." In May last year the woman gave birth to a girl after telling the boy she thought the baby was his.
