The Burnie Supreme Court has heard that a <\/span>female school cleaner abused a 13-year-old student over four months<\/span><\/a> between June and September of 2021. The 28-year-old woman had <\/span>sexual intercourse with the boy at least seven times<\/span><\/a>, occasionally without protection. She has since pleaded guilty to the offences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Court heard that the woman became friends with the boy\u2019s mother in early 2021 and was seen as an \u201caunt figure\u201d. According to crown prosecutor Claire Flockhart, <\/span>the woman and the boy would \u201ckiss and cuddle\u201d<\/span><\/a> whenever they spent time together. On another occasion, a 13-year-old friend of the boy caught them performing oral sex in a parked car.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The father of the child found out about the abuse when <\/span>he looked through his son\u2019s phone<\/span><\/a> and found photos of the two together. He also found notes with dates like when they \u201cheld hands for the first time\u201d, \u201csaid I love you\u201d and had their \u201cfirst kiss\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the boy\u2019s mother confronted her, the woman <\/span>created a fake account on Snapchat<\/span><\/a> so they could continue talking. The matter was reported to the police in September and the woman was required to resign from the school.<\/span><\/p>\n

The court heard that <\/span>the boy self-harmed when his parents found out about the abuse<\/span><\/a>. He has since changed schools and is receiving psychological support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The woman\u2019s defence lawyer said the woman was \u201cdeeply remorseful\u201d for her actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

“She accepts she was the adult and he was the child. At the time she felt lonely and depressed. She accepts she should never have allowed the relationship to develop into the way it did,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

“She embraced the sexual part of the relationship but saw it as only part of the relationship. She at the time believed she loved him. She accepts she has ruined her own life.”<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The woman faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. Further sentencing submissions will be held on the 18th of May 2022.
