Aimee Louise Sword ,Woman who had sex with teenage son sent to prison

   Aimee Louise Sword of Waterford Township, Detroit,USA who used the Internet to track down the 14-year-old son she gave up for adoption when he was only 2 days old was sentenced Monday to nine years in prison for having sex with the boy.

    Aimee Louise Sword, 36, entered a guilty plea to one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in exchange for the dismissal of two other sex offenses that involved her son. Before sentencing by Oakland Circuit Judge Daniel P. O'Brien, Sword -- who has five other children -- apologized for her actions.

    "I want to apologize to the court, my children and my sister," Sword told O'Brien. "I am remorseful for everything that occurred. ... I don't understand it."

    Assistant Prosecutor Nicki Weisberger described Sword as committing a "selfish, cowardly, despicable act" with the boy, now 16. At a preliminary exam in January, the teenager testified she contacted him in 2008 while he was living with an adoptive family in Grand Rapids. Sex acts later occurred at a motel and at the home of one of Sword's relatives in Waterford Township.

    Defense attorney Mitchell Ribitwer noted Sword entered a guilty plea to spare the teenager from having to testify at trial. Ribitwer said Sword utilized the Facebook website to contact the boy.- Detroit
