Rape allegations have been dropped against a Mackay mother, who pleaded guilty to unlawfully having sex with a mentally impaired teen.
The incident occurred on August 9, 2019 in Mackay when the woman and 17-year-old boy, who had the intellectual age of a seven-year-old, were living under the same roof.
Mackay District Court heard the pair had been drinking when the woman retired to her room to carry on drinking.
Barrister Scott McLennan, acting for the 42 year old, said the victim had entered her room and made comments that the woman's partner did not treat her well and she "deserved a man".
