Acasia Welburn, who is now aged 26, of New Road in Telford has been sent to prison 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.

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.

Detective Constable Alison Morris of North Yorkshire Police’s non-recent sexual abuse team said: “I cannot commend the victim enough for the incredible courage and determination that they have shown.

“This is another case which demonstrates it is possible for victims to seek and receive justice.

“We would encourage anyone who has been affected by any offending to make contact with the police, you will be supported and listened to.”
