A woman identified as Kerry Horsfall, hailing from the town of Pontefract, has been sentenced to a five-year prison term following her involvement in a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy. The incident, which took place in 2013, came to light during a court trial where Horsfall was found guilty of engaging in sexual activity with a minor.

Throughout the course of their illicit relationship, Horsfall took measures to prevent pregnancy by using condoms.

As part of her sentencing, Horsfall was ordered to be placed on the sex offenders register for life, a measure intended to monitor her conduct and prevent future offenses. The case has garnered significant attention in Pontefract, highlighting the importance of safeguarding minors and the legal consequences faced by those who violate these protections.
