A woman who terrorised two boys during a three year campaign of abuse is facing jail. Nicola Sherlock, 35, threatened one youngster with a knife and forced soap into the mouth of another when they were aged between three and eight.
Both boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons, sparked a police investigation after revealing they had been abused in properties in Wishaw, Lanarkshire.
One boy, aged between three and seven when he was targeted, told officers Sherlock repeatedly put a blade to his neck and struck him on his backside. He also told how he had witnessed her put a knife to her own throat and threaten to kill herself.
