| Red Rose Database
Bridgend Child Sexual Abuser
In a case that has shocked the community of Bridgend, Kerry Lee, a 25-year-old woman and mother of four, was sentenced to 18 months in prison after being found guilty of engaging in sexual activities with a 13-year-old boy. The incident, which took place in early 2010, involved a series of inappropriate communications and actions that have now led to her conviction.
According to court proceedings, Kerry Lee had initiated contact with the young teenager by sending him a series of text messages over the course of a week. The messages, which included phrases such as "Are you still awake? If you are, come down," "Love you," and "See you in the morning babe," indicated a clear attempt to establish a personal and intimate connection with the minor. The court was told that Lee referred to the boy as "Rude Boy" in her messages, further emphasizing the familiarity she sought to establish.
It was revealed that Lee had invited the boy to her home in Bridgend during the early hours of the morning, with the apparent intention of continuing their interaction in person. The court heard that she had carried out sexual acts on the boy and had asked him if he wanted to sleep in her bed, suggesting an intent to engage in sexual activity. The relationship between Lee and the boy reportedly lasted about a week, during which the boy described their interactions as romantic, with Lee kissing him and asking if he would like to sleep with her.
The situation came to light when the boy’s mother noticed "love bites" on her son's neck and became suspicious. She subsequently contacted the police, leading to an investigation. The prosecutor, Marion Lewis, told the jury that the boy had told police he and Lee had been boyfriend and girlfriend for approximately a week, and that she had asked him to sleep with her in her bed, expressing her desire to have sex with him.
During the court hearing, the young victim appeared via video link and recounted that Lee had arranged for him to sleep with her and had expressed her wish to engage in sexual activity. He stated that Lee would tell him to come over late at night, around two or three in the morning, but he would often be asleep by then. The court was also informed that Lee had denied four charges, claiming that the boy "had a crush" on her, but the evidence and testimonies led to her conviction.
Judge Keith Thomas, presiding over the case, sentenced Kerry Lee to 18 months in prison and ordered her to register as a sex offender. In his remarks, the judge emphasized the vulnerability of the young boy and criticized Lee for exploiting that vulnerability. He stated, "You knew he was a vulnerable young boy but you allowed him to become besotted with you. You were intending to have him in your bed and have full sexual intercourse at some stage had you not been discovered." The case has raised serious concerns about safeguarding minors and the importance of vigilance within communities like Bridgend.
