A mother who forced an 11-year-old boy to have sex on camera has been jailed for 15 years.

Dawn Davies, 36, repeatedly sexually assaulted her victim over two years and slapped and threatened him if he tried to stop her.

Manchester Crown Court heard footage of the ‘truly abhorrent’ abuse was later sold on a market stall, reports the Independent.

The mother-of-tree, of Salford, Greater Manchester, in England, was found guilty of 12 counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.

She was arrested in May 2015 after the boy told someone about the abuse, which took place between January 2012 and April 2014.

Police said he had lived in fear of Davies, who threatened to hurt him and attacked him if he refused to have sex with her.

She was filmed abusing the schoolboy and the footage was downloaded onto computer discs and sold on a market stall.

Detective Constable Vickie Burgess, of Greater Manchester Police, said: ‘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.’
