A married mother-of-three who had sex with three underage boys has been branded a “dreadful mother” by a judge, a court heard yesterday.

Sentencing Amanda Tompkins to seven years imprisonment, Judge Francis Sheridan told the 39-year-old: “putting it bluntly, madam, you are sex mad.”

“As simple as that - anything goes, doesn’t matter the age, doesn’t matter what stage of sobriety you were in.”

Tompkins, of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, was found guilty of 10 counts of physical and sexual abuse with six boys at her home whilst they were aged between 13 and 15 years old.

After engaging in sexual intercourse and oral sex with the boys, Tompkins, who was described as being a "highly sexual woman without boundaries", told one of them she was pregnant with his child and needed to have an abortion.
