ROCKWALL, Texas (WKRC) – A mother who was found guilty of making sexual contact with a 13-year-old friend of her son has been sentenced to five years in prison.
Real Estate Agent Natalie Sorrells, 44, had multiple instances of inappropriate contact with the child since April 2023, according to a forensic interview with the 13-year-old at the Rockwall Children’s Advocacy Center that KDFW reported.
In the interview, the 13-year-old described two incidents where Sorrells touched him inappropriately. In the arrest affidavit KDFW reported, he also described having sexual contact with Sorrells in a car after she picked him up from a football game and another time at a party for Sorrells’ son.
According to the affidavit, the child said that during one of the incidents, Sorrells’ husband called to ask if she was cheating on him. The child also told police that Sorrells provided him and several friends with alcohol and tobacco on several occasions.
Police were told of Sorrells’ crimes after the child’s mother found deleted texts between Sorrells and the victim where Sorrells called the child “babe,” according to the affidavit. Weeks after that was discovered, the child informed his mother that Sorrells had touched him inappropriately.
Sorrells was arrested in February and on Thursday, KDFW reported that she was found guilty on two counts of indecency with a child. Sorrells received 30 months in prison for each guilty charge, with the sentences to run consecutively, totaling five years. She will also be required to pay a $10,000 fine.
Court records showed that the 44-year-old had posted bond.
