Foster Mom Sexually Abuses Foster Son

(Elk River, Minnesota) In June, 29-year-old foster mother Jennifer Diane Anderson pleaded guilty in Sherburne County District Court to engaging in multiple acts of sex with her 15-year-old foster son over an extended period of time.

Yesterday, Anderson was sentenced.

From TwinCities.com:
Sherburne County District Judge Karla Hancock had harsh words for what she characterized as the woman's "absolute denial" before giving her almost 3 1/2 years in prison. The maximum sentence she could have received for third-degree criminal sexual conduct was four years.

[ ... ]

The evaluations of Anderson found she didn't show remorse, empathy or accountability; "tends to blame others for her difficulties;" and is a charming person on the surface but manipulative underneath, Emmans said. [County Attorney Leah Emmans]
Anderson's absolute refusal to accept responsibility for her actions likely prompted Judge Hancock to ignore any serious mitigation of her sentence.
