The 50-year-old woman, who cannot be named, was told by a judge she had "clearly breached her obligation as a mother" as she was handed the suspended sentence. You have breached the obligation of a mother. Not just on one occasion, but a variety of occasions. In her previous, abusive, relationship, she was subject to physical violence and made to engage in sexual acts she did not want to."

Mr Burch added that the woman had 'not one iota of enthusiasm,' for the sexual relationship with her son. A mum who claimed she had sexual relations with her 15-year-old son because he seduced her has avoided jail.There is a greater need for you to exercise discipline and restraint. Not to acquiesce," the judge told the woman. Gloucester Crown Court heard how the woman went along with the teenager's demands out of motherly love as she pleaded guilty to three charges of sexual activity with the boy. Imposing a sixteen month jail term suspended for two years, Judge Ian Lawrie QC told the woman: "You've pleaded guilty to three offences of sexual activity with a child family member, that is your son.

She was someone who was 'bedevilled and plagued' by the boy's demands and she capitulated, he said. He would wear a t-shirt, nothing else," prosecutor Stephen Dent said. "This happened more than once, but less than six times." That does not excuse, and can never excuse, that you failed as a mother to observe as a mother the appropriate boundaries.
