"It's a family affair..." Update on previous post.
A WEST Cumbrian mum who had sex with her son has sold her story to the Sunday Sport and described the incest as ?one of those things.?
Sylvia Payne claimed she was too drunk to remember having sex with her 18-year-old son Mark Wall and told the paper that he still lives with her.
Insiders estimate that Payne, of Maryport, would have earned around ?500 for her story, which appeared across two pages of the tabloid yesterday.
The 45-year-old mother of seven, escaped jail this week after admitting the crime. She was given a 36-month rehabilitation order by magistrates.
Payne revealed in the Sport that she and Mark had been drinking in a pub earlier that evening.
She told the paper: ?I was pretty out of it. You know how it is when you?ve had a few - I could hardly stand up, never mind have sex.?
She added: ?I know what happened was wrong, and I don?t plan to do it again, but it was just one of those things, one thing led to another and we ended up having sex.?
Payne also begged her neighbours to forgive her.
She said: ?I cannot leave the house for fear of the neighbours holding me to shame.
?My whole life has become one long nightmare.?
She said the pair had been watching videos together in bed when Mark had a panic attack.
She told the paper: ?All I did was what any mother would - I cuddled him and gave him a motherly kiss.
?The next thing I knew we were kissing properly and then one thing led to another - it just happened. It wasn?t planned.?
Payne says she didn?t get to see her son grow up and has only recently been reunited with him.
She said: ?I was scared that the court could make us live apart.
?Because he is 18 he can carry on living with me - which he is doing.?
However she said she will never repeat the crime.
She said: ?I love him very much but as a mother not as a partner and I hope to get the help I need now to move on with my life.?
Magistrates at West Allerdale magistrates on Wednesday decided to hand out the maximum community rehabilitation order rather than a prison sentence to help Payne rebuild her life.
She now has three years to turn her life around with help from the probation service and working with organisations such as the NSPCC.
