A private maths tutor has been jailed for six years after she sexually abused a vulnerable teenage boy.

Holly Rouse-Sweeney, 37, took advantage of the youngster after tutoring him online and organised to meet him at her former home in Nottinghamshire.

A court heard she then had sexual contact with him on several occasions - despite being fully aware he was under the age of consent.

Rouse-Sweeney was rumbled when the boy's mother found inappropriate WhatsApp messages on his phone and contacted police in May last year.

Officers then discovered several incriminating diary entries on her laptop in which she acknowledged the abuse and even referenced the boy's true age.

She later pleaded guilty to two counts of engaging in non-penetrative sexual activity with a boy, and four counts of causing a boy to engage in sexual activity.

She had claimed that her actions had been influenced by a long-standing mental health condition.

Rouse-Sweeney, of Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, was jailed at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday.

She was also added to the sex offenders' register and made the subjection of a sexual harm prevention order.

She was additionally handed a restraining order forbidding her from any future contact with her victim.

Detective Constable Keeley Bringhurst, a child abuse specialist at Nottinghamshire Police, said: 'This was an appalling breach of trust by a woman who had been trusted to spend time with a vulnerable child.

'Instead of teaching him mathematics, she cynically took advantage of him for her own sexual gratification.

'I know this abuse has had a significant impact on the victim and his family and I hope they will be comforted by this very strong sentence.'
