Mum caught having sex with 14-year-old boy avoids jail because she was 'very, very drunk'

A mum-of-two who was caught having sex with a 14-year-old boy has avoided jail because she was “very, very drunk”.

A relative of the teenage schoolboy stumbled upon Angela Gatt in the act after a boozy night.

The 37-year-old and the boy had been drinking , the Daily Record reported .Neither Gatt nor her victim can remember anything about the incident, which happened in summer 2015.


Prosecutor Virginia Hayton told Carlisle Crown Court that after being caught naked with the boy on top of her, Gatt fell and injured herself, so paramedics and police were called to the scene.
Brian Williams, defending, said.

This offence was committed when she was drunk and she has no interest in young men. She is not a paedophile. She was very, very drunk and did something very, very silly.”

Judge Forrester told Gatt: 

“There is a disparity of age, a serious breach of trust and you had both drunk alcohol but I accept you did not provide it to him. What happened after that, we will never know.”

She handed Gatt a 20-month prison sentence suspended for two years.The judge made Gatt subject to a sexual harm prevention order, put her on the sex offenders’ register for 10 years and ordered her to pay £1000 costs.
