Woman, 38, faces jail for sex with underage lad Predatory Marie Friendship could get 14 years

Pleaded guilty ... Marie Friendship

A BRISTOL woman is facing jail after admitting to seducing a teenage boy.

Marie Friendship, 38, could get up to 14 years behind bars after forcing herself on the lad.
She faced eight charges of having sexual activity with a child, pleading guilty to one that was accepted by prosecutors.
Friendship was told to register as a sex offender, while the judge adjourned sentencing for reports.
She had a sexual relationship with the boy — who cannot be named for legal reasons — between 1 July 2011 and 12 February this year, the court was told.
The news comes the day after married teacher Emma Webb was found guilty of giving sexual favours to three boy pupils aged between 15 and 17.
Prosecutor Richard Posner said the Crown would consider applying for a Sexual Offences Prevention Order to stop Friendship contacting her victim in the future.
Robert Duval, defending, said: “This is a serious offence and I accept that is the case.
“We would like to have a pre-sentence report. This is a lady of previous good character.”
Friendship, from Whitchurch, Bristol, was bailed by the city’s crown court ahead of her sentencing on 21 September.
The Recorder of Bristol Judge Neil Ford QC told her: “The fact I am adjourning the case for a pre-sentence report is no indication of the sentence imposed on you in due course.
“The fact you have been given bail is no indication of the sentence.”
Friendship, who cites Harry Potter and David Beckham as "likes" on her Facebook page, is listed as being in a relationship on the social networking site.
