After further interrogations of a domestic abuse charity, Next Link Domestic Abuse Services about her partner, the woman finally blurted out that she has abused the older of her two sons, more than enough solid proof of the incest. The confession was then passed on to Avon and Somerset police. She was taken in for questioning and the police conducted an interview with her son.
The said boy narrated the story to the police ‘in a normal voice’ that he could hear his mother being commanded on what to do with him as she gave him a ‘s3x lesson’ in the main bedroom of the house with the partner observing them via webcam and computer link, according to Mark Hollier. The mother was not named to give protection to her son. While she remains in the jail: Bristol Crown Court for three years and three months, a court heard that her partner who was described as ‘highly destructive’ had so far escaped justice being out of the country.
“Your behavior towards your son was contrary to human instincts and basic decency,” Judge Michael Longman told the woman. “It occurred after you met a man who clearly was controlling and over-bearing; a man who, it is also clear, should be prosecuted himself but is outside the jurisdiction and beyond the reach of this investigation.”
“Even though he was at a distance from you, he continued to exert that influence, but you continued to behave towards your son in a way which, despite that pressure, your own instincts should have prevented,” he continued.
Through the hearing, she cried, denying on “volunteering” to have s3x with her son. The woman was charged with engaging in penetrative s3xual activity with a boy under 13. There was also a psychiatric report showing that the woman had a personality disorder which made her susceptible to being in abusive relationships and become unnaturally dependent to the partner despite the abuse.
With these, her two sons were taken into care by social services and are now living with a foster family. Also, Judge Longman imposed a S3xual Offences Prevention Order and ordered the woman to sign the S3x Offenders' Register indefinitely.
The abusive partner, however, is still in abroad and the police are liaising with authorities in that country to finally bring him into justice.
