A Manchester Paedophile, Emma Burton, has been incarcerated after she lured and sexually assaulted a teenage boy in a hotel room in Birmingham.
Emma Burton was previously released on bail and was required to report to the police occasionally. She registered at a hotel in Birmingham with her alleged nephew, who had come to visit her, and subsequently checked out two days later, where she reported to Bradford Police Station.
Emma Burton subsequently travelled to Manchester and expended funds on extravagant gifts, including designer apparel, undergarments, toiletries, and iPhones for the boy.
Emma Burton informed the police in Preston that the youngster was her son; nevertheless, the police were able to determine that he was, in fact, being groomed. Emma Burton pleaded guilty to engaging in sexual activity with a juvenile, grooming, and trafficking, and was sentenced to two years and six months of incarceration, accompanied by a sexual harm prevention order.
Greater Manchester Police’s Detective Constable Joanne Andrews said “Despite the barriers officers faced due to Emma Burton’s manipulative and exploitative actions, the speed of the investigation and efficiency of those investigating has ensured Emma Burton is safely away from children and has had her freedom taken away.
“She used her financial position to emotionally and sexually abuse a teenager, convincing him they were in a loving, mature relationship.
“Emma Burton and others who sexually exploit children are not concerned about that person’s emotional or physical wellbeing; they gain their trust to feed their own depraved lifestyles and desires. Child sexual exploitation can take many forms in many settings and our fight to end it does not stop here.
“It will always remain a priority for GMP and our partners to safeguard those who are most vulnerable. If you or someone you know is being sexually exploited, you need to report it now so we can put a stop to people like Emma Burton.
“Know the signs. You have a right to say no, whatever the circumstances, and although it may seem harmless, you may be being forced into doing something in return for gifts or being treated well.”
