Mom may face jail for drunken sex with sons
KITCHENER, Ont. -- A Kitchener woman pleaded guilty yesterday to having sexual intercourse with her two teenage sons on separate occasions. The 35-year-old woman can't be named to protect the identities of her sons. She sobbed in Kitchener's Ontario Court as the two incest charges were read out and the facts given.
The woman will be sentenced in November. Crown prosecutor Mark Poland said outside court that incest sentences can range from a conditional sentence of house arrest to a prison term.
He said such cases are rare, especially when they involve a woman. "We see it the other way around, where the father's abusing the daughter way more frequently," Poland said.
In relating the facts, Poland said that several months after the woman split up with her husband, she began visiting her sons at his home. This lasted for several years until the ex-husband began to suspect she was drinking, and he reduced the frequency of her visits.
The boys began visiting the woman and her boyfriend at her home again this year.
During one visit on Jan. 30, the mother gave her sons alcohol, court heard.
Everyone went to bed except the woman and one son, and he and his mother began a conversation about his girlfriend, which turned to sexual matters.
The two embraced and both removed their clothes. The mother then climbed on top of her son and sexual intercourse followed.
The next day, both discussed what had happened, decided it was wrong and said it would not occur again.
On March 12, the two boys visited their mother once more. Again, alcohol was provided. Everyone went to bed except the second son, who was feeling drunk. His mother helped him downstairs to bed and started to tuck him in.
He began playing with his mother's hair and they talked about his social life. The teen then told his mother he was having sexual fantasies about her. They embraced, and sex followed.
The next day, just as she had with her first son, the mother talked with the second boy, and they decided it would never happen again.
Several days later, the woman relayed a message to her former husband to pick up the boys because she had to go into a detoxification clinic, where she admitted she'd had sex with her sons. Family and Children's Services were called and then police. The boys confirmed her story.
The woman also pleaded guilty to breaching a court order not to contact her sons after her arrest.
