A WOMAN who had a sexual relationship with an underage girl will be sentenced later this month.

Stephanie Shorney, aged 34, committed multiple sexual offences in West Dorset between January 28, 2017 and January 27, 2019.

The girl, who was aged between 14 and 15 during this time, cannot be named for legal reasons.

Winchester Crown Court heard details of their sexual relationship, including how the victim lost her virginity to Shorney and how she demanded the victim visited her address for ‘birthday sex’ on August 28, 2018.

The victim told police that the relationship had continued for two years and that she felt uncomfortable going public.

Shorney, of Hill View, Maiden Newton, was found guilty of six sex offences in early August and the case was initially adjourned for a pre-sentence report ahead of her sentencing.

Shorney was set to be sentenced at Winchester Crown Court on Thursday, September 2 but a spokesman for the court confirmed the sentencing will now take place on Monday, September 27.

Shorney was released on conditional bail, with the condition that she does not visit the victim’s home address or attempt to contact her.
