Could you imagine if this was a Father ?
A 36-year-old mother who had sex with an under-age boy has been allowed to keep her interim name suppression for the sake of her two daughters.
The girls, aged 10 and 15, were described as vulnerable during the suppression appeal before Justice Christine French in the High Court at Christchurch today, the Christchurch Court News website reported.
When the woman pleaded guilty on January 16, District Court Judge Stephen Erber refused suppression but allowed the interim order to continue until the appeal could be heard.
Justice French said the judge was likely to have reached a different conclusion about suppression if he had been given the additional material that was now available to the High Court.
The woman admitted having sexual connection with a boy aged 15 about September 6 last year. (more…)
