Woman, Man Get Prison for Child Sex Crimes

(Seattle, Washington) Last month, a 22-year-old woman, Florena Aurelia Romero, and her 32-year-old sex offender boyfriend, Jamie Lloyd Wallin, were convicted of multiple crimes, including sexual exploitation of minors, involving the sexual mistreatment of three girls, ages 7, 9 and 11.

Prosecutors said Forena Romero had gained the trust of a woman in Bothell and convinced the woman to let her take her three young daughters out for an afternoon photo session. Romero, who is married, brought her boyfriend Jamie Wallin.

This week, Superior Court Judge Michael Downes sentenced Romero to 12 years in prison. Wallin received life in prison without parole, the mandatory punishment because of a prior child molestation conviction.
