A 41 year old woman has admitted having sex with a teenage boy 26 years her junior. A court heard that alcohol and drugs were used 'to facilitate the offence'.

Lindsey Taylor pleaded guilty to having sexual activity with the 15-year-old youth. The incident happened in August last year in Exeter, Devon.

Judge Geoffrey Mercer QC said:"This was a 41 year old woman and a 15 year old boy at the time. Drink had been drunk and cannabis had been smoked."

Exeter Crown Court heard Taylor, of Tristan Close, Exeter, provided the funds for the teenager to buy the cannabis. Taylor was bailed and she will be sentenced next month after a report is prepared.

The judge said granting her bail was no indication of what sentence she will receive. She was ordered to sign on to the Sex Offenders' register.
