A mother who had underage sex with two schoolboys as a reward for them vandalising her love-rivals car is today facing jail.
Davina Travi, 42, broke down in tears as she was ordered by a judge to sign on the sex offenders register after being found guilty of having illegal sex with the boys.

Travi, from Bournemouth, Dorset, denied charges of having sexual activity with a child under the age of 16 but was found guilty after a two week trial.

The court heard in the months leading up to the offences Travi regularly held parties for children, including the two boys, who drank alcohol and smoked cigarettes.
Judge Samuel Wiggs told her the overwhelming likelihood was that she would go to prison.
Detective Inspector Becky Riggs, of Dorset police, said outside Bournemouth Crown Court: 'Travi groomed the boys for her own sexual pleasure.
'She is a dangerous offender who preyed on vulnerable boys.
'This case has had a significant impact on the victims and their families and it is my hope they can now move on with their lives.'

'At the age of 13 a lot of boys have hormones coursing through their veins and are perfectly capable and willing to have sex but they are mentally immature.
'They are not able to properly decide whether they should have sex and they are unable to deal with the potential consequences.'
Travi denied doing anything wrong and said that due to a medical condition she was not able to have sex.
But a jury rejected her version of events.
A verdict on a third charge of Travi having sexual activity with a child could not be reached and that is to be left on file.
Travi was given conditional bail and will be sentenced at the end of the month.
