A mother whose 14-year-ancient son was given an inappropriate sexual culture by a 28-year-ancient woman said she's frustrated by the winks and snickers she gets from some people.

The woman said her son was still playing with Lego construction bricks and "army men" when Tanya Hussick, a mother of four family, took him into her bed and engaged the boy in sexual intercourse.

She said it pained her to reckon of her first born being sexually molested by an adult, but it was "nearly a non-issue" for other people.

"Sometimes, I would get a reaction like, 'Oh excellent for him,'" referring to the social myths and stereotypes about a young boy being educated about sex by an older woman.

Ontario Court Justice Bernd Zabel days gone by handed Hussick, 29, a six-month conditional sentence and placed her on probation for two years.

A conditional sentence means Hussick will have a conviction registered against her, but can serve her sentence in the community under supervision. Terms of the supervision order will be drafted by defence lawyer Kim Edward and assistant Crown attorney Kevin McKenna and returned to the judge for approval.

Hussick, a former parent volunteer at a local elementary school, pleaded guilty to sexual assault last July, admitting to sexual intercourse with a minor during a month-long period the previous summer. She also attempted to perform oral sex on the boy.

There would have been no criminal offence had the sexual encounter occurred only a few months earlier.

Canada raised the legal age of consent to 16 from 14, effective May 1, 2008. In view of the fact that then, a young person under the age of 16 cannot with permission consent to any form of sexual activity, ranging from kissing to intercourse.

The mother said her son was extremely in tears when the tale got out and pleaded with her not to tell the police for dread that Hussick would lose her family.

"I reckon he had a crush on her… he honestly had feelings for her, but for her it was all a huge game," said the mom.
