A Facebook predator who created multiple on-line profiles to dupe teenage boys into online relationships has been denied parole.

Natalia Burgess is serving two years and two months in prison on charges of obtaining by deception and interfering with a computer system.

The Parole Board describes the thirty year old as a "very complicated and complex young person" with mental health issues and a difficult family background - and says she's still "a high risk to the community".

It recommends she undergoes one-on-one counselling with a psychologist.
