A Jehova’s witness who had sex with a schoolboy was caught out when the child’s suspicious mother hid a tape recorder in his bedroom.
Mother-of-two Kelly Richards admitted having sex with the 15-year-old during a three-month affair but was spared prison by a judge yesterday.
The 36-year-old met the boy after he befriended one of her sons at church and she invited the teenager to her home for sleepovers with her children.
During their encounters, Richards had told the boy: ‘Don’t tell anyone because I might get done for this.’
But their relationship was uncovered after the teenager’s mother placed a tape recorder in her son’s bedroom to discover why he had started hiding his mobile phone and why he was spending so much time with the Richards family.
After the tape recordings revealed explicit phone conversations between Richards and the boy, his mother called in police.
