Nebraska Woman Sentenced in Sexual Assault of Son

sex-offendersPAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska woman convicted of sexually assaulting her son has been sentenced to a minimum of nearly 40 years in prison.

The Bellevue woman was sentenced Monday in Sarpy County District Court to 39- to 70 years in prison on felony charges of sexual assault and incest. She will be eligible for parole after 30 years.

The 33-year-old woman and her husband are accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting their then 5-year-old son. They were arrested in 2013. The woman said her husband pressured her to participate in the assaults.

The Associated Press is not using the couple’s names to protect the boy’s privacy.

The boy’s father entered a no contest plea in the case earlier this year. He was sentenced to decades in prison.
