Bellevue Woman Convicted of Sexually Assaulting Her Son

ne-supreme-court-gavelPAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — A jury has found a Bellevue woman guilty of sexually assaulting her son.

Jurors convicted the 33-year-old woman Tuesday in Sarpy County District Court on charges of first-degree sexual assault, incest, two counts of visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct and child abuse. She pleaded guilty earlier to a charge of indecency with an animal in connection to the case.

Defense attorneys said the woman was forced by her husband to sexually assault the boy. Prosecutors argued the woman’s claims were not a legal defense for such actions.

The woman’s husband, also the boy’s father, has pleaded no contest to first-degree sexual assault, visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct and child abuse. He is scheduled to be sentenced in October.
