An 'obsession for sex with young boys'

The report said that a court heard that in total disregard for any moral compass, Harris developed an obsession for sex with young boys, and wanted attention following a break-up.

The case

The two teenagers have not been identified for legal reasons. They were 13 at the time of the incident that happened in 2022.Matthew Lawson, the prosecutor, said that the case came to light in January 2023.

"There was a video that had been circulating around the school both boys attended.The police got a call from a concerned parent which showed an adult female engaging in sexual activity with a boy," Lawson said.

The two boys initially denied involvement,before one of them eventually told their mother, the court heard.

Lawson pointed out that Harris was identified as the woman in the video by her hand tattoos. The woman's phone was seized by police and a thread of messages was found between her and one of the boys.

The 36-year-old told the teenagerthat he should not tell anyone as she could go to prison.

'Accused took away my son's childhood'

The Telegraph report said that in a victim impact statement read to the court, the mother of the boy who came forward said that her son “faded away” as a result of the “awful nightmare.”

The woman said that her sonlost interest in several hobbies and now stays indoors as a result.“My heart just breaks, I couldn’t have imagined this happening to my son – he is a child,” she said.

“The worst thing about all of this is she (Natalie Harris) has taken away his childhood and I will never forgive her," she added.
