A NSW judge has warned a sex predator who preyed on a boy with an intellectual disability for almost five years to say sorry in court.

Gosford District Court Judge David Wilson on Friday told the woman he would not accept she was remorseful for what she had done unless she told him face-to-face in the witness box.
