A WOMAN sent topless pictures of herself to a teenage boy before going on to have sex with him, a court heart.

Karen Seldon, 44, of Abercarn, allegedly sent the 15-year-old a message saying “let’s get naughty”.

Seldon denies the charges at Newport Crown Court, saying the accusations were just a ‘sexual fantasy’ of the schoolboy to boast to his friends.

Prosecutor Suzanne Thomas told how Seldon contacted the schoolboy on Facebook to – and began sending him indecent photos.

She said: “She asked him whether he liked role playing and asked him to send pictures of himself.

“She sent him a message saying “let’s get naughty” and asked him to come to her house.

“She took him into the living room and told him that she wanted him.”

Seldon, of Llanover Street, Abercarn, is accused of four charges relating to sexual activity with a minor.

The court heard that the second time they met, they were confronted by the teenager’s mother and aunt.

Miss Thomas said: “There was a great deal of shouting and scuffling while the women were arguing.”

The boy told the police Seldon had forced him into the car.

However, he later admitted he “fully consented” to sex.

He told police Seldon had been “obsessed” with him for a long time.

He admitted he was called a ‘lad’ and a ‘legend’ after telling his friends.

Defence barrister James Evans accused the boy in cross examination of making up the accusations in order to show off to his friends.

He said: “Everything you told the police that day about your sexual conquest of Karen Seldon was just your sexual fantasies about her. Nothing actually happened.

“It’s something you have fantasies about, things you told your friends to look like a lad and a legend amongst your little peer group, that is what it’s really about.”

Seldon was arrested and denied having any sexual activity with the boy and denied sending him Facebook messages.

The court heard the boy claimed to have deactivated his account after his mother found out.

The boy’s mother said she found out what was going via a text message from a friend.

She said when she confronted Seldon: “She was wearing a black and white dress that barely covered her bottom.

“She asked me if she could put some clothes on, so I gave her a throw and said to her that she didn’t mind flashing her private parts to my son.

“I asked her what she was doing with my 15-year-old son and she said she was sorry and had made a mistake.”

The case is proceeding.
