TWO deaf Herefordshire sisters are to be sentenced next month for sex offences against a young boy.
Jennifer Fellows, aged 30, of Hatton Gardens, Kington, pleaded guilty to two sex offences when she appeared at Worcester Crown Court.
Her sister Julie, aged 29, of Llewellin Road, Kington, pleaded not guilty to indecently assaulting a boy under 16 and sexual activity with a boy aged 13 to 17.
She was found guilty on both counts after a four-day trial.
She followed the court proceedings through a team of sign language experts working in relays.
Judge Robert Juckes, QC, granted bail but said this was not an indication she would receive a non-custodial sentence when she returns alongside her sister on August 12.
