A WOMAN who engaged in sexual activity with three boys in public has avoided a prison sentence.

Samantha Armstrong, of St George’s Crescent, Gravesend, was sentenced today at Greenwich Magistrates’ Court.

The 21-year-old was given a three year community order with a supervision requirement and ordered to pay £75 court costs.

Armstrong had pleaded guilty to outraging public decency and possessing cannabis resin.

The court heard Armstrong engaged in sexual activity with three boys aged between 14 and 15 years old outside Mottisfont Road, Abbey Wood.

On sentencing, Judge Dennis Lynch said: “It is a deeply unpleasant offence for those who witnessed it.

“What you did was criminal and wrong. It put you at risk and it put the young people you were involved with at risk.

“I’m not sentencing you to prison but if you carry on with this behaviour in the future there’s a risk you will be sent to prison.”

From the dock, Armstrong said: “Since this has come out in The Sun I’ve been made homeless.”
