'I'm trying not to be a total pedo': Judge warns woman, 45, who sent sex texts to 14-yr-old, that there will be 'no more licking'
A cafe owner in Cornwall, who was found guilty of sending explicit messages to a teenage girl has been spared jail after a judge and jury deliberated her sentence. Natalie Cummins, 45, sent sexual messages to a 14-year-old girl, after meeting her in 2017. Cummins sent various suggestive messages to her through Whatsapp and Snapchat and the police were alerted when a friend of the claimant came across the Snaps.
In the texts, Cummins reportedly referred to herself as "the big spoon" and often talked about kissing, cuddling and snuggling with the teen. She also talked about “ass, thigh and back stuff”. In one text, she told the teen, "I stopped myself from kissing you”, and “you know where to touch me and for how long". Other messages between the two were conversations like, "I like doing lots of things with my tongue" and "I’m just trying not to be a total paedo." In one of the conversations, the teen told Cummins. "I just love how you made me fall asleep and then woke me up with kisses."
In a Snapchat message, she said, "You should be in my bed," to which Cummins replied, "You definitely wouldn’t be getting your assignment done if I was."
After the case was reported to the authorities, the teen told Cummins about the same following which she asked the teen to delete a few messages and asked her for her Snapchat credentials, the prosecutor said. Cummins denied kissing the teen but said that she had licked her face.
Sitting as the judge, recorder Jane Rowley gave her 60 hours of unpaid work to complete and undergo a 20-day rehabilitation activity process at the Truro Crown Court. There was also a restraining order slapped on Cummins, which lasts for two years. She will also have to pay the court approximately $887 and will have to register as a sex offender for five years.
“No more licking Mrs. Cummins. It’s a quite bizarre aspect of this case and you have to reign in your banter and sexual innuendo," Rowley said. Her husband of 15 years was reportedly sitting throughout the case hearing.
