MOTHER IN SEX WITH BOY OF 12 By James Day

A MUM of three forced a boy of 12 to have sex with her after her lover walked out.

Pony-tailed Tracy Turnbull, 33, persuaded the youngster to cook for her, become "man of the house" and discipline her own children.

She also asked him to rub lotion into the naked body of a girl of 10.

Yesterday Turnbull sobbed with her head in her hands as she was jailed for three years.

Turnbull carried the boy to bed while babysitting, Oxford crown court heard. The prosecution said: "He woke and found her trying to have sex.

"He was naked and she was wearing no underwear. He tried to stop her, but couldn't."

Turnbull, from Bicester, claimed she was under emotional pressure after her partner dumped her. She admitted five charges of abuse.

Mr Recorder Arthur Stevenson told her: "You indulged yourself in a depraved manner. Only a custodial sentence is appropriate."
