[Avodah] Mikveh l'zona

I know of a young lady (I will call her Leah) in her late 20s, unmarried, who is ostensibly "frum".  Leah is from a charedi home.  She is shomeres Shabbos, keeps kosher, dresses modestly.  She won't even drink unsupervised milk, which is the norm in the Charedi community in England.
 
Leah is also having a relationship with a non-Jewish man and going to mikveh.  I would prefer not to elaborate as to the circumstances in order to avoid identification.  I will say that she is publicising her conduct in her workplace, much to the embarrassment of other Jewish employees.  I strongly surmise, based on other facts, that she is doing this in order to have a baby.
 
There is no doubt much that could be said about Leah's mindset and our recommended response to it on Areivim, but I have question for Avodah:  Is there any point at all in her going to mikveh?  Is there an issur of niddah in such a case?
