Julie Fellows, 30, and her sister Jennifer, 32, who are believed to be Britain's first deaf female paedophiles, targeted the youngster over a period spanning ten years.

TWO evil sisters who sexually abused a boy when he was aged just six and then again when he was a teenager have been spared jail - because they are both DEAF.

Julie Fellows was 14 when she lured the young boy, aged six, into toilets

On another occasion she performed oral sex on the victim who thought the behaviour was "the norm" because it happened so frequently.

A court heard Julie was aged 14 when she lured the young boy, aged six, into a petrol station toilets in 2000 where she touched herself intimately.

Sentencing to the pair via sign language interpreters, Judge Juckes added: "This is a depressing and disturbing case.

The judge said he was sparing the sisters an immediate jail term because their deafness would mean they would be in a state of "complete isolation" in prison.

Judge Robert Juckes QC decided not to cage them even though the starting point in guidelines for Julie's offending was SIX years in prison, with a starting point of one year in jail for Jennifer.

But today the sisters, of Kington, Herefordshire, were sensationally spared jailed when they were sentenced at Worcester Crown Court.

Jennifer admitted gross indecency with a child under 16 between October 2000 and April 2004 and inciting a male child aged between 13 and 17 to engage in non-penetrative sexual activity between October 2008 and October 2010.

Julie was found guilty following a trial of indecently assaulting a boy between the ages of six and nine from October 2000 to April 2004, and sexual activity with the same child between the ages of 13 to 17 from October 2008 to October 2010.

The abuse only stopped when the victim spoke to friends and realised the behaviour wasn't normal.

Julie also had sex with the boy on a sofa several years later when he was aged 14 while her boyfriend asleep in the the same property.

"You Jennifer were ten years older than the victim and the abuse was limited to masturbating in front of him and getting him to masturbate in front of you.

"Later when he got to the age of 14 and you were 24 or 25 you persuaded him further and again to masturbate in front of you and you did that by referring back to what he had been prepared to do at the age of six.

"You pleaded guilty on the basis that there was no touching of either of you by the other.

"In your case Julie the abuse began when he was six and you were about 14 but progressed to the point where you fellated him.

"When he was over the age of 16, probably 15 rather than 15, as a visitor in your house it led to full sexual intercourse on one occasion.

"The question for me as far as I am concerned Julie is this, do I have to impose an immediate custodial sentence.

"The conclusion I've come to is that a custodial sentence in your case would be wholly inappropriate and the reasons are the disability you have, the fact you're about to give birth and the fact that you have lost a child recently.

"I do not in any way overlook the effect of this on the victim.

"A custodial sentenced on you would have a highly damaging effect on you, it seems to me appropriate to avoid it.

"Both of you have led constructive lives.

"The disability you both have is that you suffer from profound deafness and it's a degenerative condition that's getting worse in both of your cases.

"Neither of you can lip read but you have both developed high skills in sign language and that has been a remarkable thing to witness in court.

"These are not facilities I presume that are available in prison.

"For the length of time you would be there your ability to communicate would be extremely limited.

"You would be living in a state of complete isolation."

Pregnant Julie, who wore a pink dress, was handed a two-year prison sentenced suspended for two years.

Mum-of-one Jennifer, who wore a blue jacket with navy jogging bottoms, was handed a 12 month jail term, suspended for one year.

Both were made subject of a supervision requirement for 12 months.

The sisters were also ordered to complete 30 sessions of a sexual offending programme and given of a five-year restraining order to have no contact with the victim.

The court heard the twisted pair first started abusing the boy when he was aged six in 2000.

Prosecutor Simon Phillips said: "The allegations date back many years and the more serious of them are the victim was six and Jennifer was 16 and Julie was 14.

"The behaviour was so frequent it became routine and he thought it was the norm.

"He believed she loved him and he needed the love and he warmed to attention.

"Julie later moved in with her fiance Adam and the victim was sitting on the sofa with Julie watching TV while Adam was asleep.

"She started a conversation with him about what used to happen and she put his hand down her trousers.

"She told him he needed to lose his virginity and said: 'Who would you rather lose it to?'

"She got him to get onto his knees and they had intercourse for a short period of time.

"She was between 22 and 24 and he was 14.

"There were no further instances of intercourse but further instances of touching."
