A Facebook predator who duped teenage boys into online relationships has been denied parole.
Natalia Burgess, 30, is serving two years and two months in prison on charges of obtaining by deception and interfering with a computer system.
She created online profiles of women aged between 18 and 20 to communicate with teenage boys, requesting access to their social media and bank accounts.
Described as a "very complicated and complex young person" in a decision by the Parole Board, with mental health issues and a difficult family background, she was still "a high risk to the community".
However, she had received positive reports from prison authorities, and had been "quite stable in recent times", the board said.
