A married nursery worker who had sex with a 13-year-old boy and gave birth to his child has been jailed for 30 months.

Leah Cordice, 20, seduced the teenager by pulling down his trousers and asking for sex after a drunken night out in January 2017.

The boy had been playing on his Xbox when Cordice walked into his room and began a sexual relationship, which she kept hidden from her husband.

She also sent the teenager complimentary text messages and bought him presents of fish and chips.






Cordice had denied the sexual activity, claiming instead that she had been raped by the young boy.

But a jury at Reading Crown Court rejected her version of events and she was convicted of having sex with her victim on at least five occasions.

Judge Peter Clarke QC, said: 'Cordice asserted that the truth was that she had been raped by the victim on multiple occasions.

'I had and have difficulty with that assessment.

'I heard no indication from either Cordice or the victim that she held him in any particular affection, the evidence from at least one witness was of physical obsession and self-indulgence as opposed to emotional attachment.'

The victim and Cordice both lived in the same area of Windsor and had known each other for many years before the abuse began, prosecutors said.

In a victim impact statement, the boy said he had been diagnosed with separation anxiety by a psychologist, which was a result of him having his child taken away by social services.





The boy told the court: 'I cannot see my child and have not had any involvement with her recently. Seeing my daughter and then having her taken out of my life was very hard to cope with.

'It feels like I was punished for what I have been through. I hope in the future I can move on from this and have a relationship with my daughter.

'Social media has just exploded with comments and posts about Leah. I do not feel anger towards her anymore. If anything, I worry about her. If she does go to prison for what she has done, I hope it is not for a long time. I hope Leah has involvement in her daughter's life.'

In a separate victim impact statement, the boy's mother said: 'He was so young to become a father, but when he started having contact with his daughter it went very well. He has not done anything wrong but she has also been taken away from him.'




During the trial, the court heard the boy's police interview, where he told how the abuse began when Cordice started to hug him and kiss him, before pulling down his trousers and asking for sex.

Jurors had been told how Cordice groomed the boy by sending him complimentary texts calling him 'cute' and giving him money for fish and chips.

Defending Cordice today, Tara McCarthy revealed that the defendant still stuck by her assertion that she had not done anything wrong.

The lawyer said: 'This is a desperately sad case all around. There are absolutely no winners. The age gap between the victim and Ms Cordice is relatively limited.

'She is a very immature person, she is still and she certainly was then and it makes the situation difficult. She does accept this has had a significant impact on the victim. It is a situation that nobody really wants to be faced with.

'She had a relationship with him. She was also in a relationship with somebody else. Over-zealous outer family members made a union between Ms Cordice and her then-partner and, for a short while, husband. It led to the most awful situation happening and her being stuck and probably to some extent not facing reality.'

In March 2017, the boy she had sex with had been interviewed by police after one of Cordice's friends sent an email to the nursery where she was working to try to blow the whistle on the affair, the judge heard.

Cordice had blasted the allegation as malicious and the friend was issued with a harassment warning and a penalty notice for wasting police time, the court heard.

After the boy victim's mother later complained to the police, Cordice was arrested at her home in Windsor in July 2018 and she was later interviewed under caution.

She had provided a prepared statement, denying any sexual contact with the boy, and adding: 'He has always had a crush on me and would always make inappropriate remarks and do inappropriate things such as grab me and annoy me..'

She denied that the victim was the father of her child but was forced to take a DNA test which showed, with a probability of 14 million times more likely than not, that the 13-year-old boy was the father.

Cordice had been living with her husband, an apprentice mechanic who had believed he was the father and had been bringing up the little girl as if she was his own.

Her husband, who has since separated from Cordice, said: 'There was an argument straight after the DNA test. I was bawling my eyes out. Honestly, if you want to talk about being traumatised, that traumatised me.

'I had a secure job, I had a nice place, I had a good relationship. I had an amazing life. Everything was going so well and all of a sudden everything got taken away from me: my child, my wife, home, job.

'I have trust issues now. I am worried about my relationships in the future. Next time I have a child with another person, I am going to have to say, "can I have a DNA test please".'

Cordice faced a two-week trial at Reading Crown Court, following which a jury convicted her of one multiple-incident count of sexual activity with a child which took place when she was 17.

After the conviction, the judge told the jury they did not need to return verdicts on two other counts which took place during the same time period, because the first count was 'compendious' enough to incorporate them.

The jury then acquitted Cordice on two further counts of the same charge which reflected times when she was aged 18 years.

For the one multiple-incident count, Judge Clarke sentenced Cordice to 30 months detention in a Young Offenders' Institution and said she would be subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for 10 years.

She will also have to sign into the Sex Offenders Register.

No be naija matter

This is very wrong, if the reverse is male on a 13 years female, it will be life imprisonment but look at what was given to her.

- Those men accused of rape, were they not raped by mothers, mothers sisters, female cousins, female maid intensionally brought by mothers to rape their male child (pretending they don’t know it happens, may death cosume all those mothers) female teachers Aunty etc

how many people cared to know if they were raped, sexually abused and molested as a child which led them into what they did?

Only the wrath of God will come down to give men pure justice in cases of women that rapes men.

Any man, woman or lawyer trying to manipulate the case in Favour of the woman ( not getting the wrath of the law like they would have given the man), May the wrath of God Almighty consume them one after the other.

I rest my case..

All those idiots called females won't see and comment on this oh, her punishment isn't even enough.
This is why I don't care about female rape cases, they should get raped more often sick hypocrates
