A WIFE seduced two teenage boys into having sex with her after giving them work in her bouncy castle business, a crown court jury was told.

Yvonne Renton, of Tufton Road, Rainham, would pay the youths £10 a time to help erect the play castles she rented out to families.

But the 39-year-old blonde first had sex several times with one of them, aged 15, and then moved onto another teenager, Maidstone Crown Court heard.

Catherine Donnelly, prosecuting, said it was an unusual case and Renton was an unusual woman, who had a predilection for having love affairs with youngsters the same age as her son.

Miss Donnelly said after the first boy began to help her regularly, she told him in June April 2002: "You are a good bloke. If you were older, I would be with you."

The teenager, now aged 19, was flattered by the attentions of an attractive older woman, said the prosecutor.

On May 11 that year, she drove him to an industrial estate and performed a sex act on him, she said. It progressed to full sex.

Miss Donnelly said when the relationship ended, Renton moved on to the second boy, then aged 14.

Renton denies two charges of indecently assaulting one of the boys and two of indecently assaulting the other. She also denies intimidation.

The trial continues.
