Depraved mother and secret lover jailed for almost 50 years over planned sexual abuse

A depraved mother and her lover have been jailed for almost 50 years after they “meticulously planned” to rape her baby son and young daughter.

The pair carried out “systematic” sexual abuse on the two youngsters over a period of four months and planned their twisted crimes over a series of 12,400 WhatsApp messages between each other, said the Daily Mail.

Portsmouth Crown Court heard the mother’s secret boyfriend had a “perverted sexual predilection” for children “of the youngest age”.

During one text exchange, the mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told her lover she loved “pushing boundaries” with him as they planned the abuse.

It was heard the couple in their 30s escalated the abuse, with the mother “force feeding” her then-five-year-old daughter with a sleeping tablet so it could be carried out.

The horrifying abuse was uncovered when the mother’s disgusted partner – who was not involved – spotted the messages on her phone, the court heard.

Prosecutor Simon Jones told the court police discovered sickening indecent photographs after they were called by the mother’s other half.

It was heard the images were the ‘worst’ an experienced child abuse investigator who led the case had ever seen.

The prosecutor said: “This was systematic, routine, regular sexual abuse.”

He added that the pair, both from the Portsmouth area, had even made unsuccessful attempts to rape the young girl after drugging her.
