Our thanks to Martin for this. The start of the piece:
A woman paedophile has been jailed for four years after luring a 13-year-old boy into her home and forcing him to have sex with her.
The boy, then a virgin, cried as he was pinned down by 33-year-old Nicola Fox.
She lured the youngster into her home in Hull by saying she wanted a’chat’, then when he tried to leave she closed the curtains and pulled him onto her bed.
The boy stood to leave again, but she sexually assaulted him, ‘slammed’ the door and then put a table up against it, Hull Crown Court heard.
Claire Holmes, prosecuting, said: ‘She pinned him down to the bed using her weight. She was touching his chest and she removed her trousers and lower clothing.’
Fox then held the boy’s hands over his head and forced him to have sex.
Miss Holmes added: ‘He was clear that he didn’t want her to do this. He was telling her to stop, to get off.
‘He was crying at one point. Her response was to tell him to stop crying, and she said that in an annoyed and aggressive tone. He felt annoyed, upset and embarrassed.’
The boy believes the ordeal, which happened earlier this summer, lasted five to ten minutes. He went home and showered but did not report it immediately…
Despite his anguish, the victim had treated Fox with ‘dignity’ during the sex because of she is a woman, the court heard.
Miss Holmes said: ‘[He] said although he tried to fight her off, he was conscious of the fact he was being assaulted by a female and he didn’t want to cause her any harm.’
If the story were of a man doing a similar thing to a 13-year-old girl, I expect he’d serve at least four times the prison sentence.
As in most such cases, there’s an attempt at a mental health issue mitigation:
Dale Brook, mitigating, said: ‘It is difficult to understand or believe that her first conviction can be for such a serious offence in the terms as outlined by my learned friend.
‘Perhaps the only obvious explanation for it is contained in the pre-sentence report, and it is clear that she was suffering from profound mental health problems at the time.’
Fox had been hearing ‘multiple voices’ around the time of the attack.
‘She’s not saying the voices told her to do this?’ said Recorder Richard Woolfall.
‘That’s not in the report, no,’ said Mr Brook. [J4MB: The defence team missed a trick there. In future similar cases we can be sure women will say they were being told by ‘voices in their heads’ to assault underage boys. Who could prove they were lying?]
