? CASE SUMMARY:
Caitlin Hutchinson, 21, of Roker Avenue in Sunderland, was jailed after grooming and sexually abusing a young teenage boy over several months. She manipulated and exploited him, later attempting to blame him during police interviews.
She admitted to six counts including sexual communication with a child and engaging in sexual activity with a minor. Her crimes have caused serious emotional trauma to the victim, who bravely came forward and testified.
? VICTIM IMPACT:
The boy described the 18-month ordeal as “hell” and detailed the emotional damage caused. He now suffers from severe anxiety, depression, and loss of trust — especially around women — saying he feels “damaged” and unsure if he’ll ever feel normal again.
? POLICE STATEMENT:
PC Sophie Farrugia said: “Hutchinson is a manipulative sex offender who showed no concern for the long-lasting trauma she caused. I commend the boy for his bravery. If you are a victim of abuse, please come forward — you are not alone.”
