A British woman who was convicted of fatally stabbing her neighbor after learning he was a pedophile revealed that her son was one of the sicko’s victims.

Single mother of five Sarah Sands, 38, killed 77-year-old Michael Pleasted in his East London apartment weeks after discovering he had abused young boys.

In 2015, she was found guilty of manslaughter by reason of loss of control and ultimately spent almost four years in the slammer. During her trial, it emerged that Pleasted had 24 convictions for sex offenses dating back three decades.

“I did what any mother would do because he did this to my son Bradley, my little boy,” Sands told the Sun of her son, who was 12 when Pleasted offered him a job — after which he groomed and abused him.
