A babysitter spared jail for having sex with an 11-year-old boy has described herself as “honest and trustworthy” on a dating app.

Jade Hatt, 21, was looking after the boy when she stripped off, removed his clothes, then straddled him and had sexual intercourse.

But she walked free after the court heard he was mature for his age and the boy’s father described him as “sex mad” and “fully up for the experience”.

The boy’s disgusted mother – who is estranged from the father – criticised the “lenient” sentence, which is currently under review by the Attorney General.

Now Hatt has thrown herself into the dating game by joining ‘Badoo’, a social networking site which encourages users to ‘chat date and flirt’ with 272 million members worldwide.

She describes herself as being aged 21, 4ft 11ins with a slim body, red hair and brown eyes who is single, straight and ‘here to chat’.

Her ‘about me’ section reads: “I am very loyal, kind, caring, loving bubbly, good heart, funny, gets on with everyone, hard worker, honest, trustworthy, understanding, good listener, good personlitey (sic), lively, outgoing, good senses (sic) of humour, hardworker.”

Hatt, of Swindon, Wiltshire, pleaded guilty to sexual activity with a child at Swindon Crown Court in October.

But she was spared an immediate jail term after the boy’s dad said his son saw the experience as a ‘notch on his son’s belt’.

Judge Tim Mousley, QC, gave Hatt a six-month jail term suspended for two years with supervision and told to register as a sex offender for seven years.

He also imposed a sexual harm prevention order banning her from having unsupervised contact with young boys for two years.

However there was widespread outrage at the leniency of the sentence and the High Court in London will consider an appeal on December 8th

An online petition calling for the sentence to be looked at again had been signed by more than 3,800 people.

Speaking after the case, Hatt defended herself and claimed the boy enjoyed their sexual encounter.

“I don’t know what made me do it,” she said. “I’m a better person than that.

“When I stopped I went to the toilet and I was crying and shaking thinking ‘What have I just done?’

“He said ‘What’s wrong?’ and I said ‘I can’t do this’. I wasn’t thinking at the time.

“He said he wasn’t enjoying it but he was. He loves older girls and likes sex full stop.”
