Melbourne woman jailed for mothering 14-year-old boy's child

Melbourne woman jailed for mothering 14-year-old boy's child

A Melbourne woman has been jailed after reportedly having sex with a 14-year-old boy and giving birth to his child.

According to reports, the teenager was a close friend of the woman's daughter, and was allegedly given alcohol by the 36-year-old when he came over and they'd have unprotected sex.

A complaint was made to police in 2015 but when they investigated, the woman denied any offending. Then she gave birth to his son.

A paternity test was completed, confirming the teenage boy was the father and a victim of sexual abuse. 

The woman was sentenced to four years on Wednesday in the Victorian County Court after pleading guilty to the persistent sexual exploitation of a child under 16. 

'Your offending was in part motivated by selfish sexual gratification,' said the sentencing judge.

'The fact you used no contraception and have given birth to a child only aggravates your offending.

'You have destroyed the victim's childhood and the well-being of his family.' 

Unable to stay with the woman, the Department of Health are preparing a care plan for the baby and the victim's family wish to play a part despite the circumstances.
