U K:   A mother-of-two is facing jail after admitting having underage sex with a teenage schoolboy.Kelly Richards, 36, today admitted having full sex with the 15-year-old schoolboy during term time.

She was arrested after the boy's own mother discovered what had happened.

Brunette Richards, of Mountain Ash, South Wales, admitted one count of sexual activity with a child between October and December 2012.

Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court was told she "did not reasonably believe that he was 16 or over" when she had penetrative sex with the schoolboy just two months before his birthday.

Judge Richard Twomlow told Richards she would be sentenced later this month and "all options remain open".

He told her: " You will be sentenced later this month and I am going to ask for a report so the court knows more about you.

"The fact I am asking for a report and granting bail does not give any indication of the sentence I will pass.

"This is a serious matter.

"Obviously I will reserve the matter to myself and all sentencing options remain open to me."

She was shielded going in and out of court by her husband.
