Paedophile: Loren Morris, 21, was sentenced to prison after a court found that she had slept with a child 50 times

Paedophile: Loren Morris, 21, was sentenced to prison after a court found that she had slept with a child 50 times

A female paedophile has been jailed for having sex with an eight-year-old boy more than fifty times.

Loren Morris, 21, was 16 when she first slept with the schoolboy, who cannot be identified, and continued until he was ten years old.

Morris, who has a child of her own, would have regular intercourse with the boy, now 14, and was only found out after he was overheard bragging about it at school.

A judge today gave Morris a two-year prison sentence at Worcester Crown Court, following a trial last month where she was convicted of three counts of sexual intercourse with a child under 16.

She could be seen smiling and smoking outside the court today as she awaited her sentence.

The judge in the case told Morris that he would be lenient with the sentence - which will see her released from jail after one year - because she 'realised it was wrong' and stopped having sex with the boy.

West Mercia police said they started investigating Morris in March last year after the boy's school told them that he had been heard bragging about having sex with her.

Judge Robert Juckes QC said: 'I make no secret of the fact your case has given me cause for much consideration.

'I have come to the conclusion that due to the concern and embarrassment caused to both you and your family that you will not be offending again, let alone committing sexual offences.

'I am also aware of the effect this will have on your baby. I am pleased to hear your parents have started to build bridges with you.

'That does not stop the fact though that you had full sexual intercourse with a child when he was eight to 10 years old - by his evidence it was upwards of fifty times.

'It seems to me that I am bound to pass an immediate custodial sentence. I take into account what has been said to me and the fact that you stopped the activity yourself.

'You realised it was wrong rather than being caught and forced to stop. Therefore my sentence is one of two years. You will serve 12 months in prison before being released on licence.'

'Wrong': The judge explained that he had been lenient because Morris stopped of her own will

Repeated: The court heard that Morris slept with the boy, who cannot be named, more than 50 times

Defence lawyer Antonie Mullers had told the court Morris was struggling to accept the facts of the case, and asked Judge Juckes to spare her a prison sentence altogether.

He said: 'Her immaturity at 21 means she cannot accept the facts yet. She accepts her conviction but with time will accept more.

'Her parents have stepped in and are building bridges, I understand she has met with some of her family.

'This could be stifled by a custodial sentence so I urge your honour or try and suspend it if possible.'

Morris, from Lyde, Herefordshire, will serve two years each for the three counts to be served concurrently.

Her sentence included a Sexual Offences Prevention Order, banning her from contact with a child under 16 without permission of a parent. She was also ordered to sign the Sexual Offenders Register, where her details will remain for ten years.

The report says - "Morris, who has a child of her own, would have regular intercourse with the boy, now 14, AND WAS ONLY FOUND OUT AFTER HE WAS OVERHEARD BRAGGING ABOUT IT AT SCHOOL." That's rather strange isn't it? It doesn't quite fit the picture of a deeply damaged boy, does it?

This confuses me a bit. I mean they were caught when the boy is 14 and because the boy was bragging. Doesn't really sound like he was traumatized or harmed. I agree that females get away with the law much easier but they get away with more then in the law. Before women had equality they had the predisposition of being treated as fragile, precious little beings that men should take care with and of. So when they gained equality and retained that chivalry from men. A society of women grew that manipulated that loophole in the system of society. Women have always been cunning and manipulative creatures to survive the ages where men ruled. But with the equality act women retained that cunning manipulative nature passed down from the women of those times and it exists still today. Women aren't mysterious, as in Adam and Eve it was Eve that ate the forbidden fruit, women's nature is clear. Creatures full of arrogance, selfishness and lack of self control. An need to be lead by men.

If this was the other way about and the child was female and the perpetrator was male the sentence would be a completely different story. Shocking result. Only 2 years!?

This case is NOT clear cut; this woman obviously has learning difficulties - the clue is in the leniency of the sentencing and the comments of the defence lawyer. Stop and think before posting knee-jerk comments. Yes, it is a shocking case, but not all the facts are set out in this article.

Under what criteria are these liberally inept judges appointed? He gave hera lenient sentence, because she realised that what she was doing was wrong; she didn't know throughout the two years that having sex with an eight year old boy, until he was ten, was not right, morally or legally? And she will be out in a year. If this case had happened in the Us, there is no way on God's green earth, the perpetrator would have been given a two year sentence. The judge ought to feel embarrassed and ashamed of his actions, and be removed from a position which affords him the authority to make decisions on sentencing.
