A 36-year-old mother, Natalie Harris Waterlooville Paedophile, has been sentenced to four years in prison for engaging in a sexual encounter with two 13-year-old boys in her son’s bedroom while he was attending school.
Natalie Harris, a resident of Waterlooville, engaged in very promiscuous behaviour by sending explicit messages to a youngster on Snapchat. Subsequently, she invited both lads to her residence. According to the Portsmouth Crown Court, the mother of six had a complete lack of moral principles as she acquired an intense fixation on engaging in sexual activities with underage boys. This behaviour was driven by her desire for attention following a romantic separation.
Although she pleaded with the lads to maintain confidentiality, she was apprehended following the dissemination of a video of the threesome, which was recorded by one of the guys, throughout their school. Harris sobbed in the courtroom on Thursday (August 15) as she was sentenced to four years in prison, after confessing to four charges of engaging in sexual contact with a minor.
A mother of one of the 13-year-old boys expressed that Natalie Harris had deprived her son of his youth. Prosecutor Matthew Lawson stated that both individuals, whose identities are protected by law, were 13 years old at the time of the incident, which occurred in Waterlooville in November 2022.
“The case was brought to the attention of Portsmouth Crown Court in January of the previous year,” he said. There was a video that was being shared among the students of the school that both lads attended. A concerned parent contacted the police to report an adult female involved in sexual conduct with a boy.
The court was informed that first, both boys denied their involvement, but later, one of them disclosed the truth to their mother. According to Mr Lawson, Natalie Harris was recognised as the woman in the video based on her unique hand tattoos. The authorities confiscated her mobile phone and discovered a series of conversations between her and one of the boys, whom she had kept in her contacts as Rachel.
Natalie Harris was overheard advising him not to disclose any information, as it could result in her being incarcerated, and to defend him if anyone were to speak ill of her. During his court testimony, Mr Lawson recounted how the kid bravely confessed to his mother that he was responsible for recording the video. He stated that in November 2022, around the period of the World Cup, the defendant initiated communication with him through Snapchat and text messages. According to him, the texts took a sexual turn, and she extended an invitation to both lads to visit her residence. Both boys were unequivocally aware that their purpose for travelling there was to engage in sexual activity.
During the court proceedings, it was revealed that upon reaching the location, Harris escorted them to her son’s bedroom, where they engaged in sexual activity for around 40 minutes. They departed before her son was expected to return from school. Upon her arrest, she originally professed complete ignorance regarding the woman’s identity featured in the video. During her victim impact statement presented in court, the mother of the youngster who came forward expressed that she witnessed her son gradually deteriorate due to the distressing ordeal.
She mentioned that her “poor boy” has become disinterested in multiple pastimes; consequently, he now spends most of his time indoors. “I am deeply saddened; I could not have anticipated this occurrence affecting my son – he is a juvenile,” she expressed. “Natalie has thoroughly disrupted the dynamics of our family.” The most detrimental aspect of this situation is that she has deprived him of his formative years, and I will never grant her forgiveness. He will never regain the lost innocence of his stolen boyhood. This experience will have a lasting impact on us for the remainder of our lives.
Natalie Harris, who has subsequently received a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and multiple personality disorder, was experiencing a “manic episode” because of her separation, according to reports. Berenice Mulvanny indicated that Harris expressed profound guilt and devastation for her actions as a mitigation. She stated that the cause of it was a breakup with her partner. Judge Sarah Munro KC stated that Harris responded dramatically to her partner’s departure. Your behaviour has become exceedingly promiscuous.
She reported a significant shift in Natalie Harris’ demeanour, characterised by an intense preoccupation with engaging in sexual activities with underage males. “He recounted how you initiated communication with him and invited him to your residence,” she stated. You brought them to your son’s bedroom and participated in sexual acts with both lads. They departed since it was the appropriate moment for your kid to return home from school.
Regarding the youngster who reported the incident, she expressed that the consequences for him have been quite distressing. He experiences remorse for the events that transpired. Your actions have undeniably disrupted the family dynamics and deprived him of his youth. While pronouncing the punishment, she expressed, “No verdict I can deliver can restore his lost childhood or reverse the harm you have inflicted upon him.”
The judge attributed the cause of the ‘manic episode’ and subsequent “erratic behaviour” to her separation from her boyfriend. “You experienced a lack of affection and consequently started behaving to attract attention,” she supplemented. “Your pursuit of attention disregarded the potential long-term harm it could cause to these young boys.” You exhibited extensive premeditation and manipulation, which constituted a severe breach of trust, and there was a substantial age difference between us. She sentenced her to four years in prison, emphasising that there had been a complete disregard for all moral principles. Natalie Harris was additionally subjected to a 10-year restraining order and a Sexual Harm Prevention Order of equal duration.
