WOMAN ‘GROOMED BOY, 15, FOR SEX ON ’

His mum found them together at her house

- By COLIN HURST news@sundayspor­t.co.uk

A MUM seduced a schoolboy by sending him pictures of her boobs on Facebook with the message, “Let’s get naughty”, a court heard yesterday.

Karen Seldon, 44, is accused of having two sex romps at her home with the boy when he was just 15.

She is alleged to have lured the boy for full intercours­e and oral sex – until it was discovered by his mother who stormed into her house.

Seldon denies the affair, saying it was just a “sexual fantasy” of the schoolboy to boast to his friends.

Prosecutor Suzanne Thomas told Newport Crown Court how Seldon contacted the schoolboy on Facebook to seduce him into sex and began sending him photos of her “breasts and bottom”.

She said: “She asked him whether he liked role playing and asked him to send pictures of himself.

“She sent him a message saying, ‘Let’s get naughty,’ and asked him to come to her house.

“She took him into the living room and told him that she wanted him.”

Seldon is accused of four charges relating to sexual activity with a minor – two of sexually touching him, one of oral sex and one of full sex.

Banging

It is alleged that on a second occasion she drove up to him in her car and kissed him.

Miss Thomas aded: “They drove to her home and they started kissing. They were about to go upstairs when there was banging on the door.”

The court heard the boy’s mother and aunt confronted Seldon about why the schoolboy was in her house at Abercarn, near Caerphilly, South Wales.

Miss Thomas continued: “There was a great deal of shouting and scuffling while the women were arguing.”

The boy told the police Seldon had forced him into the car. But he later admitted he “fully consented” to sex.

He told officers Seldon was “obsessed” with him for a long time and he admitted he was called a “lad” and a “legend” after telling his friends.

Defence barrister James Evans accused the boy of making up the accusation­s in order to show off to his friends.

He said: “Everything you told the police that day about your sexual conquest of Karen Seldon was just your sexual fantasies about her. Nothing actually happened.

“It’s something you have fantasies about, things you told your friends, to look like a lad and a legend amongst your little peer group, that is what it’s really about.”

Seldon was arrested and denied having any sexual activity with the boy and she denied sending him Facebook messages.

The court heard the boy’s mother went to Seldon’s house to find her son but he was not there, explaining: “She was wearing a black and white dress that barely covered her bottom.

“I gave her a throw and said to her that she didn’t mind flashing her private parts to my son.”

The case continues.
