A woman convicted of having sex with a 13-year-old schoolboy has avoided a jail term.

And Jordan Lightfoot was warned by Judge David Hale not to invite teenage boys around for a party.

Lightfoot, of Edith Parc Rhyl, was found guilty of three charges of sexual activity with the 13-year-old boy, and also sexual activity by touching with a boy of 15, and causing or inciting the elder boy to engage in sexual activity.

She was 19 at the time of the offences and had sex with the younger boy at her home in the summer of 2016, a jury heard.

The offences came to light when the boy’s mother found text messages on his mobile phone.

After considering a pre-sentence report Judge Hale imposed an 18 month jail sentence, suspended for two years, with 50 days of rehabilitation activity.

A five-year sexual harm prevention order was made which bans Lightfoot from contact with boys aged between 11 and 16 unless inadvertent or with consent of parents who know about the conviction.

Lightfoot, who is the mother of a baby whose father is unconnected with the case, was placed on the sex offenders’ register for 10 years and must pay £140 costs.

Jo Maxwell, prosecuting, said text messages between Lightfoot and the 13 -year-old “made it obvious she was in control of the relationship”.

Simon Killeen, defending, said the offences happened in a short period of time “when she was an immature teenager.”

Passing sentence Judge Hale said it happened during a troubled period of her life, living on her own.

“You became involved with a group of lads, people who were prepared to befriend you, and you were prepared to befriend them.

"On these two occasions you engaged in a brief sexual relationship with both of them.”

The 15-year-old had become obsessed with her – “and that’s always the risk”.

“There is a disparity of age, they were vulnerable because they were even less equipped than you to deal with the emotional relationships involved.

"I accept you were immature.”

The judge told her: “No teenage lads around for parties or anything like that.”

The sexual harm order was to avoid the risk of her “forming a relationship with a lad of 14 or 15”, the court heard.

Speaking after sentencing, an NSPCC Cymru spokesman said: “Child sexual abuse can have devastating effects on victims and it’s important that the two boys in this case get the support they require.

“Letting the Future In is an NSPCC service, based in Prestatyn, which frequently helps young survivors of this crime to move forward with their lives.”
