Mother who had 3some with two 13-year-old schoolboys in her son’s bedroom jailed four years

A 36-year-old mother has been jailed for four years for having s3x with two 13-year-olds in her son’s bedroom while he was at school.

The woman, Natalie Harris started sending s3xual messages to one of the schoolboys on Snapchat before inviting them both to her address.

In a ‘total disregard of any moral compass’, the mother-of-six developed an ‘obsession for s3x with young boys’ and wanted ‘attention’ after a break-up, a court heard.

She was arrested after a video of the threesome filmed by one of the boys was circulated around their school.

Harris, from Waterlooville, Hampshire, wept in the dock on Thursday as she was jailed for four years, having admitted four counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child.

A mother of one of the 13-year-old boys told Portsmouth Crown Court that Harris ‘has taken away his childhood’.

Prosecutor Matthew Lawson said both boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were 13 at the time of the incident which took place in Waterlooville, near Portsmouth, in November 2022.

Mr Lawson told Portsmouth Crown Court: ‘The case came to light in January of last year.

‘There was a video that had been circulating around the school both boys attended.

‘The police got a call from a concerned parent which showed an adult female engaging in sexual activity with a boy.’

The court heard the two boys initially denied involvement before one of them eventually told their mother.

Mr Lawson said Harris was identified as the woman in the video via her distinctive hand tattoos.

Her mobile phone was seized by police and a ‘thread of messages’ between her and one of the boys was found – who she had saved in her contacts as Rachel.

It was heard she told him he ‘shouldn’t tell anyone’ as she could go to prison.

Telling the court how the boy came forward to tell his mum he had been the one who took the video, Mr Lawson said: ‘He said in November 2022, around the time of the World Cup, the defendant had started to message him on Snapchat and by text.

‘He said the messages became sexual and invited both boys to go to her house.

‘It was clear to both boys they were going there for sex.’

The court heard that when they arrived at the address, Harris took them to her son’s bedroom, where they had sex for roughly 40 minutes and left before her own boy was due to return from school.

She was arrested and initially claimed ‘no knowledge’ of who the woman was in the video.

In a victim impact statement read to the court, the mother of the boy who came forward said she had seen her son ‘fade away’ as a result of the ‘awful nightmare’.

She added her ‘poor boy’ has lost interest in several hobbies and now stays indoors as a result.

‘My heart just breaks, I couldn’t have imagined this happening to my son – he is a child,’ she said.

‘Natalie has completely turned our family upside down.

‘The worst thing about all of this is she has taken away his childhood and I will never forgive her.

‘He will never get back the childhood that has been taken from him. This will stay with us now for the rest of our lives.’

Harris, who has since been diagnosed with bipolar and multiple personality disorder – was suffering from a ‘manic episode’, it was heard.

In mitigation, criminal barrister Berenice Mulvanny said Harris was ‘deeply remorseful’ and ‘devastated’ about her behaviour.

She said it had been ‘triggered’ by a break-up with a partner.

On Harris’ split with her partner, Judge Sarah Munro KC said: ‘You reacted to his departure dramatically.

‘In your behaviour, you became extremely promiscuous.’

She said a ‘dramatic change’ was noted in Harris’s mood which included ‘an obsession in you for sex with young boys’.

‘The boy described how you started to send him messages and invited him to your home,’ she said. ‘You took them to your son’s bedroom and engaged in sexual activity with both boys.

‘They left because it was time for your son to come home from school.’

On the boy who reported the incident, she said: ‘The impact upon him has been dreadful. He feels guilty about what happened. You have clearly turned that family upside down and taken his childhood away from him.’

Sentencing her, she continued: ‘No sentence I can pass can give him his childhood back or undo the damage you have done to him.’

The judge said the trigger for the ‘manic episode’ which resulted in ‘erratic behaviour’ was her split with her partner.

‘You felt unloved and you began to act in a way to get attention,’ she added. ‘In your desire for attention, you gave no consideration on the long-term detrimental impact on these young boys.

‘There was significant planning and grooming behaviour used by you, a serious abuse of trust and a very significant disparity in age.’

She added there had been a ‘total disregard of any moral compass’ and jailed her for four years.

Harris was also made the subject of a ten-year restraining order and a Sexual Harm Prevention Order of the same length.

Boko Haram/ISWAP Attack Borno Police Station, Kill Four Officers, Hunter

Suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists have killed at least four police officers and a local hunter in coordinated attacks on security posts in Borno State, underscoring the persistent threat of insurgency in the region.

The attacks occurred in the early hours of Saturday, April 4, 2026, targeting the Nganzai Divisional Police Headquarters and a Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF)/Hunters duty post at the Malam Fatori IDP Camp in Damasak, Mobbar Local Government Area.

According to ASP Nahum Kenneth Daso, Police Public Relations Officer in Borno, the Nganzai police station came under fire at about 1:00 a.m., with terrorists deploying Rocket-Propelled Grenades (RPGs) and other sophisticated weapons in an attempt to overrun the town. Police officers, supported by the Police Mobile Force (PMF), Crack Squad, military personnel, CJTF members, and local hunters, engaged the insurgents in a fierce gun battle, ultimately repelling the attack and restoring normalcy.

Despite the successful defense, four police personnel “paid the supreme price”, while a section of the police station was damaged, and an unserviceable Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) was partially burnt.

Almost two hours later, at around 2:40 a.m., insurgents attacked the CJTF/hunters’ post at the entrance of the Malam Fatori IDP camp. One hunter, Atom Abua, 40, was killed, and about 20 thatched houses and properties were destroyed. Combined security teams prevented further loss of life and property.

Following the attacks, Commissioner of Police Naziru Abdulmajid deployed additional personnel and operational assets to the affected areas to strengthen security and prevent further incidents. He commended the bravery of officers and local defenders, extended condolences to the families of the deceased, and reassured the public of the command’s commitment to bringing the attackers to justice.

Security experts note that the attacks highlight the enduring insurgency threat in Borno State, where Boko Haram and ISWAP continue to target security installations and vulnerable communities despite ongoing counterterrorism operations. Authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant and cooperate with security agencies.

NDLEA Arrests Lagos Pastor, Wife With 11kg Skunk Cannabis

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested a Lagos-based pastor and his wife after discovering 11 kilogrammes of skunk cannabis concealed in specially modified compartments of their vehicle.

The suspects, Pastor Afolabi Hodonu, 45, in charge of the Celestial Church of Christ, Agonvi Sea Beach, Sakpo area of Seme border, Badagry, and his 35-year-old wife, Mrs. Success Hodonu, were apprehended on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at the Gbaji checkpoint along the Seme border, Lagos.

According to NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, the couple was intercepted during a search of their Honda Pilot SUV, where officers recovered blocks of highly potent skunk cannabis hidden in secret compartments. Babafemi revealed that the arrest was linked to a previous seizure on March 30, 2026, when a suspected fake security agent, Sunday Samuel, was caught transporting 24.5 kilogrammes of skunk through the same checkpoint. Subsequent investigations led to the pastor and his wife.

“The arrest of Pastor Hodonu and his wife is part of our ongoing intelligence-driven operations against drug traffickers hiding behind legitimate businesses, religious titles, or elaborate concealment methods,” Babafemi said.

The NDLEA has also conducted several other operations across Nigeria, leading to:

Arrest of a female drug supplier in Borno State, 28-year-old Aisha Adamu, with 4.3 kilograms of Colorado cannabis linked to bandit groups operating in the North East.
Recovery of 48,000 tramadol pills in Adamawa State and 1,378 kilograms of skunk in a warehouse in Edo State.
Arrest of a suspected drug dealer in Ibadan using her 11-year-old daughter to distribute drugs.

NDLEA Chairman and CEO, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (retd.), commended officers for the successful operations, emphasizing the agency’s commitment to dismantling drug networks nationwide regardless of the traffickers’ status.

The pastor and his wife are currently in NDLEA custody and will face prosecution as investigations continue. Authorities have warned that drug trafficking in Nigeria carries severe legal penalties and that no individual is above the law.
