A teenage boy withdrew from his family while being allegedly groomed by a woman almost double his age who is now charged with abusing him, a court has heard.

Jessica May Nakkan, now 30, from the Canberra suburb of Holt, faces a string of charges over an alleged relationship with a boy aged under 16 earlier this year.

She has pleaded not guilty to eight charges, including maintaining a sexual relationship with a young person under special care, grooming and possessing child exploitation material, three counts of committing an act of indecency on a person under 16, and two counts of sexual intercourse with a person under 16.

Court documents detail the changes the boy’s mother claims to have noticed in her son’s behaviour before she uncovered the alleged relationship, as well as the alarming discovery police made as they searched Nakkan’s car when they arrested her on May 31.

Nakkan, then 29, allegedly began messaging the teen on a daily basis after the pair met and exchanged numbers.

The boy’s mother became concerned about a ‘considerable decline’ in his mental health as he began spending less time with the family at home and more on his phone, allegedly with Nakkan.

The boy also refused to go on a fishing trip with his father during school holidays – planned months in advance – so that he could spend time with Nakkan, court documents allege.

It’s alleged that Nakkan lavished the boy with gifts of clothing and video games, sent him sexualised messages about how much she loved him, and instructed the teen to use multiple social media platforms to keep their relationship a secret, reported the Canberra Times.

It’s alleged she kissed the boy numerous times, indecently touched his body, and orally raped him twice.

The boy’s mother eventually uncovered the alleged relationship in May when she found messages and videos of the pair on his laptop and reported it to police.

When police executed a search warrant of Nakkan’s home days later, they allegedly found child exploitation material on her mobile phone featuring the pair.

Police also searched Nakkan’s car, where they allegedly found the teen’s birth certificate, wallet, identification documents and school uniform.

It’s alleged that Nakkan made a number of admissions during a police interview, including that she had told the boy she loved him, but claimed it was in more of a parental or guardianship way.

She also allegedly admitted the pair kissed numerous times, exchanged explicit photos and videos, and that she orally raped him twice and knew he was under 16.

‘She has always known that what was happening was not okay and was not legal,’ police claim in the court documents.

Nakkan returned to ACT Magistrates Court last week to seek variations to her ongoing bail conditions, which include a strict 24-7 curfew.

Her lawyer Himangi Ticku, asked for the curfew to be removed as she may soon be moving house, The Region reported.

The prosecutor opposed the proposed removal of the curfew, claiming there had been a clear power imbalance in the alleged relationship and that the pair tried to disguise it.

Magistrate Glenn Theakston agreed to keep the curfew in place.

It means Nakkan can only leave home alone for work or attend legal appointments and must be in the company of an approved person when leaving her home at any other time.

Nakkan will return to court on October 13.
