A private maths tutor, Rye Paedophile Holly Rouse-Sweeney, who mistreated a young, vulnerable teenage lad sexually has been arrested.
Age 37, Holly Rouse-Sweeney trained the lad online before planning to see him at her former Nottinghamshire house.
She then had sex with him multiple times, knowing he was under the age of consent.
When the boy’s mother discovered unsuitable WhatsApp chats on his phone in May 2023, police were called in.
Officers discovered multiple incriminating diary entries on Holly Rouse-Sweeney’s laptop on which she documented the assault and even mentioned the boy’s actual age following her detention.
She later entered a guilty plea to four counts of making a youngster engage in sexual conduct and two counts of non-penetrative sexual behaviour with a lad.
Appearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday, September 9, Hebden Bridge, Rye, resident Holly Rouse-Sweeney was imprisoned for six years.
She was also included in the register of sex offenders and became the subject of a sexual harm prevention order, so closely limiting her actions upon release.
She also received a restraining order prohibiting future communication with her victim.
According to Holly Rouse-Sweeney, a long-standing mental health illness had shaped her behaviour.
Children abuse specialist Detective Constable Keeley Bringhurst of Nottinghamshire Police said:
“This was a terrible betrayal of confidence by a woman assigned to spend time with a vulnerable child.
“Instead of imparting mathematical knowledge, Holly Rouse-Sweeney selfishly exploited him for her sexual satisfaction.
“I know this abuse has had a significant impact on the victim and his family, and I hope this powerful sentence will comfort them.”
