Mom gets jail for sex abuse of daughter
Print Edition
AN Australian mother who sexually abused her daughter to keep her boyfriend’s affection has been sent to prison for five and a half years, reports said yesterday.
The South Australian District Court heard that the woman, 35, had abused the 10-year-old girl and photographed the encounters to gratify her 37-year-old partner, who was a teacher.
“This was very serious offending against a defenseless child by the very people who should have been protecting, not offending against, her,” Judge Simon Stretton said, domestic news agency AAP reported.
“You were her mother, for goodness’ sake.”
The woman was charged with unlawful sexual intercourse, indecent assault and producing child pornography. The man pleaded guilty to four counts of unlawful sexual intercourse and to producing and possessing child pornography.
They got five and a half years with a three-and-a-half-year non-parole period, the court said.
The court heard the woman had been terrified of losing her boyfriend, but Stretton said they were both “willing participants in the aberrant sexual activity performed in this matter.”
“(This was) a gross breach of trust and a gross exploitation of a vulnerable child ... worse still, that child was your daughter,” he said.
The crime was discovered after police found the photographs as they investigated the teacher because of suspicious online conversations.
