Married mum of two, age 39, had ‘striptease sex’ with seven boys under 16
A MARRIED mother- of-two yesterday confessed to having ‘striptease sex’ with a series of schoolboys.
Amanda Tompkins had been due to stand trial accused of ten counts of sexual and physical abuse against seven boys under the age of 16.
But yesterday the unemployed 39-year-old admitted having sex and performing sex acts with her victims at her home for months – despite knowing that they were underage.
She could now face a lengthy jail sentence after admitting having sex with the teenagers between February and May last year.
Tompkins twice invited three boys into her home in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, where she had sex with them and performed a sex act. She had earlier attempted to sexually assault another boy, and had sex with one of the group
‘Ten counts of sexual abuse’
alone in her living room on separate occasions.
Appearing at Aylesbury Crown Court in Buckinghamshire, she admitted seven counts of sexual activity with a child, one of attempted sexual activity with a child, one of attempting to sexually assault a child and one of attempting to engage in sexual activity with a child.
Appearing visibly distressed, Tompkins paused before she admitted each count before Judge Francis Sheridan.
She denied charges of attempting to sexually assault and common assault against one of the boys, said to have happened on the same occasions, but the charges were ordered to lie on her file.
Prosecutor Kim Preston agreed to let one other count of sexually assaulting a boy in February to remain on her file. Tompkins was remanded in custody until her sentencing in March 31 after her defence barrister, Peter De Feu, failed to convince the judge to grant her bail.
After her first court appearance she had been released on bail subject to bans on contacting witnesses in the case and meeting any children under 18 without their parents’ consent.
Last month, 29-year-old Amber Bradley was jailed for five years after having sex with an underage boy after she was found passed out in a gutter.
The mother- of-three invited a gang of teens to a drug and alcohol-fuelled party in her flat. She was later arrested for having sex twice with a 15-year-old, with the court hearing how she ‘coaxed’ him into it by promising him a mountain bike. She also sent him nude pictures and called him ‘ daddy’ in texts.
And last week, a 20-year- old was jailed after posing as a teenage girl in order to get young boys to send her explicit photos, with a judge ruling that she posed a serious risk.
Jasmine Hill set up a fake Facebook account to groom the boys, as well as using messaging apps Snapchat and WhatsApp to target teenagers. She had already been convicted of similar offences in May 2015 but continued with her behaviour.
