35-Year-Old Married Woman Jailed For Two And Half Years After Sexually Abusing 13-Year-Old Boy

A housewife and mother-of-four, Emma
Burton who had an illicit relationship with
an underage boy after using her husband's
company credit to buy him designer goods,
has been jailed for over two years at
Manchester Crown Court, UK.




The 35-year-old wept as the verdict was
read, after failing to heed consistent
warnings to back off from the 13-year-old
teenager she met through family friends.




After Emma bought him two iPhones, his
parents became suspicious and warned
her to back off but she ignored them,
moving ahead to secretly exchange
messages with the teenager on Snapchat.




In what can be described as every parents'
nightmare, the affair was finally exposed
after a shocking photo of Emma kissing
their son was found on his iPad.




The police
were called but he ran away from home
and informed them that he was in love and
planning to make a life with her.



Due to his
refusal to help police, Emma was
interviewed and bailed with conditions.




Rather than desist from her actions, she
went to spend a night with her victim at
the luxury La Tour Hotel in Birmingham and
took him on another shopping spree at the
Trafford Centre near Manchester.




Police
however re-arrested Emma after officers
spotted the pair in her BMW car and found
their underwear in the back seat.



She later
admitted to sexual activity with a child,
meeting a boy under 16 after grooming
and arranging or facilitate travel of another
person with a view to exploitation.



Her husband, whom she has a 14, 13, 10
and 6-year-old for, was in court supporting
her as her lawyer claimed she started
having issues after her father died.




Before
delivering the verdict, the Judge told her:

'Again and again you were warned but you
carried on. I form the view that you carried
on because you came to the conclusion
that the boy was under your spell.




The
parents confronted their son and there
was a violent argument and he was
running about wielding a knife that
demonstrates just how disturbed a child
can be as a result of your actions.




That was
the power you held over him. The family
were distraught that they had lost their son
to you.



There is no evidence of anything
sexual because your victim has refused to
co-operate, but you were together for a
considerable period of time and you should
understand therefore just how disturbing
conduct like this can have on the mind of a
young person.




You were of good character
and I am satisfied that you are remorseful
for your actions but this of course does
cross the custody threshold and immediate
custody must prevail.'
