A predatory grandmother in the UK has been ordered to sign the Sex Offender Register for sleeping with a 15-year old boy.
Linda Whatton, 38, of Burnley, Lancashire, has admitted unlawful sexual activity with a child and after sentencing at Preston Crown Court declared “well I won't be doing that again”.
The court was told she had slept with the boy, a family friend, at her home during a two-month secret affair.
But the crime came to light when rumours circulated around Burnley and reached the victim's mother, who helped get her convicted.
Speaking after the sentencing, Whatton who has five children, three girls and two boys, as well as two grandchildren said: “I won't be doing that again, what a mistake.
“People have been beating me, putting the windows through, calling me ‘paedo’.
“I only just moved into a new house and I already got my windows put through,” the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.
She bedded her teenage lover after he had been thrown out of his family home and he was said to have taken ‘active part’ in their affair between August and September last year.
Judge Simon Newall said: “I'm not sentencing her for that but she needs to understand that if she's going to go out with teenage lads they have got to be 16. If it happens again she won't be let off at second time.”
