The woman, now 30, sexually assaulted the boys, aged 13 and 15 at the time, between August and September in 2020.
She pleaded guilty to sexual intercourse with a child aged between 10 and 14 and sexual intercourse with child aged between 14 and 16 and on Friday in Newcastle District Court was jailed for a maximum of four years and three months, with a non-parole period of two years and three months.
The boys began hanging out at the woman's house and played sexualised truth or dare games before she sexually assaulted both of them in a bedroom.
When a neighbour found out and told the woman one of the victims was not a man, but a boy she replied: "I don't care how old he is. Age doesn't matter. I don't abide by the law."
The woman gave evidence on Friday, telling Judge Jennifer English she disavowed those comments and now felt disgusted in herself.
