Crazy World: Woman, 42, rewards two teens with sex
BRITAIN: In a bizarre incident, two schoolboys were asked by a middle-aged woman to smash a car and were offered 'sex' as payment for services rendered.
The 42-year-old woman was dumped by her boyfriend for another woman and she wanted the boys to smash up her love rival's car, reports Daily Mail.
The mother-of-five groomed the two teenagers and promised to have sex with them if they put her plan in action. The duo smashed up the car as instructed by the dumped woman and carried the car's number plate as proof. The woman allegedly carried out her part of the deal.
Although the woman denied that she had sex with the underage boys, she was later found guilty after a trial.
