The Offender Database reported that, in 2018, Shauni Balderstone, the Padiham Paedophile Child Molester, a mother who groomed a 13-year-old boy for sex, was spared jail by a paedophile sympathising judge.
Shauni Balderstone, aged 20 at the time, subsequently raped the minor at her residence in Padiham, as shown in Burnley Crown Court.
Prosecutors stated that his parents contacted the police upon observing a decline in his academic performance.
When his mother examined her son’s mobile phone, she discovered images of him with a woman.
Sexualised remarks on Facebook and texts were also uncovered, prompting the boy’s father to contact the police.
Shauni Balderstone, residing on Bowness Road, received a five-month suspended prison sentence and was subjected to a five-year sexual harm prevention order.
Shauni Balderstone, who confessed to engaging in sexual activity with a minor, has to complete 40 days of rehabilitative programs and must register as a sex offender for a duration of seven years.
