A mother who had sex with a 14-year-old boy in a bathroom has been cleared of abusing him.

Amanda Lockhart, 46, also posed for nude photos for the teenager, who she said had told her he was 17.

She was found not guilty of engaging a child in sexual activity today following a trial at the Old Bailey.

LAST WEEK: New Addington claims 14-year-old boy she had sex with was 'dominant'

Prosecutors had claimed she "never had a doubt" about the teenager's age and had groomed for weeks before they had sex in January last year.

Ms Lockhart admitting having sex with the boy but told the court he had showed her a passport proving he was old enough to consent.

She said the boy "put her in a submissive mode" and "manoeuvred" her into sleeping with him and posing for the photos, which she claimed he then used to blackmail her after admitting his true age.

The mother-of-one told the court last week: "He came on to me. The way he did, he sort of manoeuvred me.

"I never had to tell him anything, he was the one who was dominating and being like that with me.

"He put me in a submissive sort of mode. I can’t explain it.

"It was in the sense that he was so dominant. It was almost like I gave in."

A jury found her not guilty of five counts of engaging a child in sexual activity.
