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

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.

Ex-LG chair challenges El-Rufai’s claims on council funds

Ex-LG chair challenges El-Rufai’s claims on council funds
Former Secretary of the Association of Local Governments Of Nigeria (ALGON), Kaduna State chapter, Alhaji Kabiru Jarimi, has refuted ex-Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s claim that he never interfered with Area Councils’ funds during his tenure.
Jarimi, who served under El-Rufai’s administration, described the claim as misleading, stating that funds were routinely deducted from councils’ allocations under various guises by the previous government.
The ex-ALGON State Secretary, who is also the former Chairman of Kaduna South local government, disclosed this in an interview over the weekend.
“I was shocked by El Rufai’s comment because local government funds were deducted without our approval. Most of the deductions targeted Southern Kaduna LGAs.

“We never got our full allocations under El-Rufai. His government kept introducing policies to deduct funds unnecessarily. I even considered resigning. At times, we had no funds for overhead costs after paying salaries,” he recalled.
Jarimi, who said that El-Rufai justified the deductions as necessary to settle workers’ salaries, further noted that the state government also employed various means to withdraw additional funds.
The former Council Chairman cited the creation of the Kaduna Capital Territory Authority, Zaria Metropolitan Authority and Kafanchan Municipal Authority as a means of shortchanging local governments.
“Salaries were shared 60–40 between the capital territories and LGs around them. In Kaduna South, deductions were made in the name of sanitation, forcing us to remit funds to the Kaduna Capital Territory Authority (KCTA) every month,” he stated.
The former Chairman further alleged that the funds of local governments outside the capital territories were also deducted without explanation, citing deductions for security and ‘riot damage.’

Though the criminals managed to escape, their Lexus SUV sustained significant damage, including a shattered rear windshield.
The Anambra Police Command is yet to release a statement on the abduction of the priest.

Adeleke University didn’t suspend Muslims for praying – MSSN

Adeleke University didn’t suspend Muslims for praying – MSSN
The Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Adeleke University Branch, Ede, Osun State, has described as “fake news” a statement credited to MURIC which alleged the suspension of a Muslim student of the university over Friday prayers.
The association, in a statement signed by its Ameer, Imran Adigun AbdulHakeem, on Sunday, said MURIC’s reports circulated on social media were a misrepresentation of happenings within the university, saying “our faith is respected by the management.”
In another letter, the association apologised to the director and facilitator of the university, Chief (Mrs) Dupe Adeleke-Sanni, whom the association credited with providing a conducive atmosphere for Muslim students to practise their faith.
The letter reads: “On behalf of the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Adeleke University Chapter, [I] write to address the ongoing misinformation circulating on social media and other platforms regarding the suspension of Muslim Students for praying on Campus.
“On the 14th of March, 2025, we were temporarily suspended from observing our Night Ramadan Prayers (Taraweeh) and Jummat prayers on campus on the orders of the Director of Security Service (DSS).
“However, on the 18th of March, we met with Dr. Mrs. Modupe Adeleke regarding these challenges.

“She provided us with a place where we could observe Ramadan, Jummat prayers, and the five daily prayers which we accepted. As a result, the suspension has been lifted, and we have resumed prayers at the new location provided by the university on the orders of Dr Modupe Adeleke.
“At no time have Muslim Students been forced to change their beliefs. While challenges may arise in any diverse academic institution, the university management has always been open to dialogue, and we have continued to receive support in practicing our faith.
“Adeleke University has provided a peaceful and respectful environment for all faiths, and we continue to practice our religion freely.
“We urge the public to disregard the misinformation that may have been spread regarding this matter as they do not reflect the reality of our experiences,” the letter to the university management noted.
The letter of apology to Chief (Mrs) Dupe Adeleke-Sanni reads: “As-salamu alaykum (peace be upon you). On behalf of the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Adeleke University Chapter, I apologize for any distress caused by the false social media reports.
“We assure you that we had no hand in spreading the misinformation. We are deeply grateful for your unwavering support, guidance, and kindness towards us.
“Your commitment to our well-being and academic success is invaluable, and we appreciate everything you’ve done for us. May Allah (SWT) reward you abundantly for your good deeds. Jazakumullah khairan (may Allah reward you with goodness).
“Thank you for being an exceptional Mother and mentor. We are blessed to have you,” the letter added.
