Jailed for seven years, ‘sex-mad’9 mum who preyed on schoolboys

- By David Pilditch

A DEPRAVED mother was jailed for seven years yesterday after she admitted having group sex with a string of schoolboys.

Married Amanda Tompkins, 39, invited the boys aged 13 to 15 into her home where they drank alcohol and took drugs before she engaged them in sex acts.

On one occasion the mother of three performed a striptease before romping with three of them.

She told one young victim she was pregnant with his child and needed an abortion.

The families of Tompkins’s victims stormed out of the courtroom yesterday as details of her sordid abuse were read out.

Aylesbury Crown Court heard that the offences took place over four months last spring.

Created

One of the victims, thought to have learning difficulti­es, was described in court as “vulnerable”.

Prosecutor Kim Preston said jobless Tompkins set out to turn her family home in Milton Keynes, Bucks, into a fun “party house”.

Ms Preston said: “She created a rather free and easy environmen­t for these visitors to spend time.”

The abuse was carried out while her two younger children were in the house.

Tompkins admitted sexually abusing six underage boys on four occasions.

Judge Francis Sheridan branded her “a disgrace of a mother” who had carried out “a most dreadful catalogue of sexual offending and abuse of young boys”. He told her: “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.

“You abused them systematic­ally, you ran an open house. You ran a house of abuse with you as the abuser. The word ‘enough’ doesn’t feature in your catalogue of offending. Your home was a lure of your own sexual abuse of children by allowing smoking underage, by allowing garden.”

Tompkins was arrested after teachers at the victims’ school overheard them talking about her.

When interviewe­d by police the mother at first denied being able to have sex for medical reasons.

She then admitted having sex with adult men and accused one of her victims of raping her.

Judge Sheridan said: “Let’s not duck it. That’s a false allegation and the sentence of having been found guilty of rape would be six years in prison – all your fault.” illegal drugs in your Saturday April 1 2017 Peter Du Feu, defending, said she became “lonely” and suffered “low self-esteem” after her marriage broke down.

A NSPCC spokespers­on said: “Tompkins is a serial sexual predator who manipulate­d and abused young boys for her own gratificat­ion. These crimes will have longterm effects on her victims.

“It’s vital she receives treatment so that she is not a risk to children when she is released.”

Tompkins will be a registered sex offender banned from contacting underage boys or girls for life.
