A US woman who pleaded guilty to having sex with the biological son she gave up for adoption and later tracked down on the internet has been sentenced to up to nine years in prison.
Aimee Sword, 36, of Waterford Township, Michigan, apologised at her sentencing in Oakland County Circuit Court.
In a deal with prosecutors, she had pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
Police say Sword used Facebook in 2008 to find her son, who is now 16.
She gave him up for adoption as an infant.
He testified they had sex in Waterford Township and Grand Rapids.
Waterford Township is 50 kilometres north-west of Detroit.

Mother love
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”
Re: Mother love
Man, that is one twisted bitch...
She obviously did him a huge favor by giving him up...
And then she tracked him down sixteen years later to screw him up psychologically...
I hope she does every minute of those nine years...
She deserves a lot more....
A man who had done this with a 16 year old daughter would be looking at 25 to life....
I've always argued that in general it made sense to have more lenient sentences for older women who seduce teen boys than for older men who seduce teen girls; because the level of psychological damage involved is different.
But not in a case like this.

Re: Mother love
Look at all this kid has to deal with:
First, there's the "why did my mother give me up?" thing that most adopted kids face at one time or another...
Second, there's the "OMG she's come and found me" thing, that comes out of the blue at age 16...(usually it's kids, as adults, that go looking for the parents)
Then there's the "now that my mother's found me she wants to have sex with me" thing...
And then finally the enormous guilt that has to go along with the, "Why did I go along with it and have sex with her?" thing...
That's a helluva lot of "things" to have to deal with...

Re: Mother love
Or maybe she had sex with him first and then told him she was his mother; then he had to deal with the change of "What did I do to get so lucky" to "I had sex with my mother". Either way, it's not a good situation.
Re: Mother love
That's what I thought when I read it, Big RR. Poor kid.
Re: Mother love
Well, if that's the case, it makes her even more twisted, (if that's possible)
It would mean that she deliberately planned in advance to have sex with her son, (and then to tell him she was his mother) rather than it being some sick impulse that arose on the spot...
On the other hand, if it did happen that way, it should be better for him at least in terms of any personal guilt he might feel, since he couldn't possibly have had any way of knowing that she was his mother before they had sex.

Re: Mother love
Well, apparently this is the way it went down:
I think this now makes clear what happened:
She seduced the kid, and he knew she was his mother, but his hormones (he is 16 afterall) overwhelmed his judgment. (Maybe for a while he was able to rationalize it by thinking that well, since they had no real family relationship, in some sense she wasn't really his "mother", and that somehow made it alright. Teenage hormones can induce a lot of rationalizing ability )
The adoptive parents knew he was seeing his real mother but felt it was ok, having no idea that the sex was going on. (I think that speaks well for them. A lot of adoptive parents would be very insecure if the birth mother showed up and react very differently.)
And then at some point, the guilt finally got the better of the hormones, and he sought help to get out of the situation.
I see a lot of therapy in that kid's future.

"When she saw this boy, something just touched off in her—and it wasn't a mother-son relationship, it was a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship," Sword's attorney, Mitchell Ribitwer, said to the newspaper.
Sword said she only has sex with her son once. But authorities said there were several incidents, including at a Grand Rapids hotel and at her home.
At the time, Sword was married and lived with her husband and five children who ranged from toddlers to teens.
The boy's adoptive parents—not knowing about any sexual misconduct-- gave him permission to stay with Sword. He later alerted a counselor to the incident.

Re: Mother love
I've heard of this phenomenon, (not that I'm condoning it) but there was another parent-child couple; it may even be a syndrome. This couple were father-daughter and she was a consenting adult, I believe she was in her thirties. They were willing to talk about it, (no, this wasn't Springer) because they realized it was wrong and were seeking treatment. Somehow this can happen when the two family members have been kept apart for most of their lives.
However, in this case, considering the son's age, I believe he was fully taken advantage of.
