Sex Groomer Faces Sentencing

BY IAN CROUCH

A former support worker at a Hunter Valley school accused of grooming a student for sex will be sentenced next week.

Jackie Hays sent a series of explicit text messages to a then 15-year-old boy in 2015.

The 51-year-old's bid to have her case dismissed on the grounds she was suffering a borderline personality disorder was rejected in Newcastle Local Court.

She claimed a weight loss drug had increased her libido, but a magistrate has ruled the case against her is too serious to dismiss.

The mother of two faces possible gaol time.
