A SALFORD WOMAN WHO SEXUALLY ABUSED A BOY HAS BEEN JAILED

She was found guilty of 12 counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity by a jury at a previous hearing.

Those present in court heard how following a tip off, footage of Davies molesting the youngster had been recorded and found on a computer used by her partner, footage that was being sold on a market stall in Manchester.

Specialist software had been used to delete materials on the computer which investigators found was used to search for images of both male and female nude teens.

The court heard how Davies subjected the boy to regular sexual assaults and forced him to have sex with her. 

She often threatened to hurt him or would physically assault him if he said no.

In 2015 the victim disclosed the abuse and Davies was subsequently arrested in May 2015.

Detective Constable Vickie Burgess, from Salford's Public Protection Unit, said:

Quote

"What this woman put this innocent boy through is truly abhorrent.

"She physically, mentally and sexually abused him for her own perverse pleasure and not once did she think about the pain and harm she was inflicting on him.

"He genuinely feared this woman and endured these disgusting offences. He was extremely brave disclosing what had happened to him and I hope this sentence goes some way to providing him with comfort."
