A CONTROVERSIAL court sentence on a 21-year-old woman who seduced a teenage boy has been condemned by a leading children's support group.

And the mother of the 13-year-old victim has spoken out, saying that shamed Stephanie Fletcher urgently needs medical help.

Fletcher, of Tintern Avenue, Tonge Moor, was given 12 months probation after pleading guilty to two indecent assaults.

Bolton Social services bosses have promised that support will be offered to the boy and his family if they feel they need it.
