Yes, Mother A 41-year-old woman in Sayville, N.Y., pleaded guilty to inviting a 19-year-old man to have sex with her 13-year-old daughter. He took her up on the offer. His friend, 20, also had sex with the girl’s 14-year-old friend. The mother, who was not identified to protect the girls’ identities, and the two men were charged with second degree rape. Judge Rory Bellantoni agreed to sentence her to 10 years of probation, but only if she convinced him she understood the seriousness of her actions; she otherwise faces 15 years in prison. What was the mother thinking when she took the girls to a hotel in White Plains, recruited the men at a mall, gave them all alcohol, and encouraged them all to have sex? She was trying, she told police investigators, to “curb the girls’ obsession with sex.” (White Plains Journal News) Available in This is True: Book Collection Vol. 12
