A MUM forced her toddler son to watch as she had sex with her lover to satisfy his sick fantasies, a court heard.
The 27-year-old, who can’t be named, was allegedly seen on video “enthusiastically” bedding the man while the child was present.

In one of the clips, the 19-month-old was crying, while in another he was seen lying on the bed, jurors heard.
The Old Bailey was told the mum allegedly kissed the child on the lips while having sex with the man.
Prosecutor Catherine Milsom said: “The evidence that you will see demonstrates there were more occasions of sex and it is clear that (he) was very much sexually excited by the idea that (the boy) might be present during the occasions of sexual intercourse.
“It’s the crown’s case members of the jury that this defendant deliberately allowed the child to be present for his (the man’s) sexual gratification.”
The court was told the mum had sex with the man in front of her child on several occasions between September 2020 and October 2020.
Police were alerted when another woman, who had a brief relationship with the man involved, contacted the NSPCC.
His phone was seized by officers, who found content that suggested he had been having sex with the mum as her child was present, it was said.
Ms Milsom said: “Enquiries were taken and those enquiries led to this defendant.
“This defendant was a participant in sexual encounters with (the man) when her son was present, she allowed him to watch and on occasion participate.
“She encouraged or assisted (the man) in engaging her own toddler son, knowing (the man’s) wish to have a child present and watching.”
The mum was arrested on January 14, 2021, and charged on July 25, 2023.
She denies three counts of intentionally encouraging or assisting the commission of an offence of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification.
The mum has also pleaded not guilty to two counts of causing or inciting a child under 13 years old to engage in sexual activity.
The trial continues.
