A woman accused of sexual offences against a teenage boy showed him how to kiss before encouraging him to have sex with her and telling him to keep it secret, a jury has been told.
Kirsty Slater, 38, of Millbrook Close, Oswaldtwistle, denies three counts of sexual activity with a child aged between 13 and 15.
Preston Crown Court heard the allegations relate to a night in August 2023 when the complainant, who was 14 at the time, found himself alone with Slater.
Opening the prosecution case, Francis McEntee told jurors the teenager and Slater had been talking about difficulties he had experienced with an ex-girlfriend.
Mr McEntee told the jury that the prosecution case is that Slater kissed the boy, encouraged him to touch her breasts, and then guided him into having sex with her.
Jurors heard Slater denies that any sexual activity took place.
A video-recorded interview with the complainant, conducted by specially trained officers, was played to the court, where the teenager described feeling uncomfortable after being kissed.
He said he had spoken about comments made by an ex-girlfriend regarding his kissing and had asked Slater for advice.
The boy told police that Slater first kissed him after he asked about kissing and later demonstrated how to kiss "with tongues".
He said the atmosphere became "a little bit weird" and claimed Slater told him he could touch her breasts before partially undressing.
The teenager said they then had sex.
He told police he felt "very confused" afterwards and described the experience as "surreal".

The court heard he said he later felt "disgusting" and "inhumane".
Jurors were told the boy claimed Slater switched between saying they should not be doing what they were doing and continuing with the sexual activity.
The complainant also alleged that Slater later gave him alcohol and told him they should keep what had happened "our little secret".
Giving evidence through the recorded interview, the boy said he felt guilty afterwards because he did not like keeping secrets.
Mr McEntee told jurors one of the charges alleges Slater intentionally caused the boy to engage in sexual activity by encouraging him to touch her breasts.
Another alleges sexual activity with a child by engaging in sexual intercourse.
The trial continues.
