Woman Who Had Sex With Best Friend’s 12 Year Old Son and Gave Birth to His Baby is Jailed

A mother who had sex with her best friend’s 12-year-old son and then gave birth to his baby has been jailed for at least three years.


The 40-year-old woman began a sexual relationship with the 12-year-old after she started driving him and her daughter to school and developed feelings for him.

The court heard how the pair had sex once a week over a five-month period and did not use condoms.

The woman, who cannot be named, pleaded guilty to the persistent sexual abuse of a child under the age of 16 at Victoria County Court in Melbourne.

‘You failed to recognise that your feelings for the boy were completely inappropriate,’ the judge said.

‘You commenced and continued an abusive sexual relationship.’
The woman gave birth to a girl in May last year.

The boy’s mother, who was best friends with the woman, even visited in hospital – completely unaware that her 12-year-old son was the father.

‘She [the boy’s mother] has described how you have taken away his childhood and the difficulties he has had adjusting to fatherhood and what has happened to him,’ the judge said.
