2023 – A mother-of-five who repeatedly sexually abused a vulnerable schoolboy has been jailed.

Deborah Taylor was 33 years old when she began using her home as a ‘doss house’ to entice impressionable youngsters.

Her victim, a 14-year-old boy, would attend the property with school friends to drink and smoke cannabis.

The court heard how one night Taylor asked the boy to stay the night and sleep in her bed.

This led to intercourse and they began to meet more for further sexual activity

Now Taylor, of Thomasson Close, Bolton, is 62 years old and a grandmother.

At Bolton Crown Court, she was jailed for two years after admitting indecent assault and was also issued with an indefinite restraining order banning her from contacting the victim.

She was also ordered to sign the Sex Offender Register for ten years.

Taylor changed her plea to guilty in June of this year. She had previous convictions for assault, shoplifting and supplying cannabis.

The court heard that when a child the victim developed a drinking and cannabis habit due to often having no heating or food.

Nicholas Clarke, prosecuting, said: “He and other children of his age would also often attend Deborah Taylor’s address. According to them it was ‘doss house’. When the complainant was 14, he was persuaded to stay the night by the defendant.

“This inevitably meant sleeping with her in her bed. This led to the pair developing a relationship with each other, acting as partners and having regular sexual intercourse. At the start of their relationship the defendant would have been 33 years old. She had five children at the time

At the time, social services were aware that he was living at the house, but they did not realise that the only place he could have been sleeping was her bed.
