Female paedophile groomed boys

A female paedophile who groomed a schoolboy with more than 80,000 text messages before she had sex with him also tried to seduce another boy at the same time

Kirsty Jubb sent a video of herself performing a sexual act before inviting the boy to her home on three occasions, and had full sexual intercourse with him when he stayed overnight.

But the deception was uncovered when his parents discovered he was missing the next morning, prosecutor Ian West said.

In one message, she told the boy his family didn’t love him, the court heard today

In a statement, the boy’s mother said Jubb’s actions were a “calculated and chilling” bid “to undermine our son’s belief in our family.”

“She targeted him and stole his innocence. I struggle to understand why she did it.”

Weeks before she arranged for him to visit her home, Jupp began texting the other boy

Jubb, 27, of Walkley Road, Sheffield, pleaded guilty to two counts of engaging in sexual communication with a child, and three counts of sexual assault.

Judge Thomas sentenced her to four and a half years in prison, and placed her on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
