A woman who was in a position of trust has been jailed for a string of sexual abuse against boy who was under 16 years of age.
Acasia Welburn, who is now aged 26, of New Road in Telford has been jailed for two-and-a-half years today.
She pleaded guilty to three charges of sexual activity with a child by a person in a position of trust. Welburn appeared at York Crown Court for sentencing.
Welburn’s reign of abuse took place while she was working at a school in North Yorkshire where she worked in a trusted care position.
Welburn started sexual contact with a teenage boy who was autistic. She initially made contact with the boy on social media which involved the sharing of sexual messages and images. A shocking string of abuse followed on from this when she met the victim on a regular basis for sexual intercourse in her car and flat.
