A “breathtakingly brazen” bikini model nearly vomited as she was jailed for sexually abusing a 14 year old schoolboy.
Megan Skye Blancada, 39, admitted to repeatedly sexually abusing the boy from 2021 to 2023, and luring him into her car for sex.
The young victim, who remains anonymous, told the South Australian District Court: “She started texting me, trying to talk to me. I was confused … she would compliment me as if she liked me.
“It felt nice, and this is how she tricked me. She would say how horny I make her, how I look hot in my school clothes, that I should send her photos … she manipulated me, used me and raped me.”
The court heard about four times she forced herself on him. One time she had a sleepover at his family home where she tailed him to the bathroom and attacked him.
In another incident, she was eating with his family and then abused him after dinner, and then another was when she lured him into her car.
Before the sentence, Blancada was heard telling supporters outside the court “there’s only so long you can have sympathy for the victim”.
Blancada, who claims herself a fitness model and actress with appearances in film like Hey Hey Its Esther and Wolf Creek, saved 15 photos and videos from SnapChat spanning from 2021 to 2023.
Throughout the trial, it came to light that the victim believes they swapped over a thousand pictures.
Blancada, visibly upset and retching several times in the dock, was sentenced to five years and one month in prison by Judge Antony Allen.
He told the court: “Quite frankly, you did not need to be a high functioning individual to know what you were doing was illegal and morally repugnant.
“This aspect of the sexual abuse is extremely concerning. It was persistent, invasive and occurred over a relatively lengthy period of time. It serves as the disgraceful backdrop to the episodes of contact offending.”
The Judge continued: “It matters not that the victim reciprocated the communications. He was a child, you were an adult.
“I do not accept as a consequence of those factors (Blancada’s mental health problems) that moral culpability … are significantly diminished in the circumstances of this case. The gravity of your offending means a sentence of imprisonment is the only appropriate penalty.”
