SEX IN SHED WOMAN FACES JAIL

Perv preyed on teen boy

A WOMAN has admitted having sex romps with a teenage boy – in a SHED.

Janice Higgins pleaded guilty at Wigan Magistrates’ Court to gross indecency with a 13-year-old and indecent assault of the same victim when he was aged under 16.

The incidents took place between 1993 and 1995.

On one occasion Higgins, now 59, from Tyldesley, played strip poker with the boy before then performing a lewd act.

And another time she performed a sex act on him.

The pair would kiss when they were alone together and on one occasion also had a sexual encounter in the shed.

Prosecuting, Ann Deakin said a few children would go round to Higgins’s house and from there the victim began visiting on his own.

Ms Deakin told the court: “She was always flirtatious with him. She would stand behind him and put her hands on his shoulders. The defendant knew he was 13 because he would often turn up in his school uniform.

“On one occasion the pair were playing cards and she suggested they play strip poker. She lost two games, and it could be she was deliberately losing, and took her top and bra off. She said he could touch her and after about five or 10 minutes told him not to tell anyone what had happened.

“After that they would kiss whenever they were on their own and this went on for two or three years.

“On another occasion they were kissing and the defendant undid her top button and encouraged him to perform a sex act on her.

“A few months later she performed a sex act on him, though he can’t remember how that came about.

Higgins will appear at Bolton Crown Court on November 20.

She was released on bail and ordered to sign the Sex Offenders’ Register.
