Woman Gets Prison for Sex with Nephew

(Oakland, California) A 45-year-old mother-of-two, Edwina Marie Madeja, pleaded guilty before Oakland County Circuit Judge Rae Lee Chabot to second-degree criminal sexual conduct for engaging in sex with her 15-year-old nephew. The sexual episode occurred in June 2005 after Madeja gave the boy beer during a graduation party.

Subsequent to the sex, the boy exhibited signs of being suicidal and his parents sent him to a counselor.

When the counselor reported the allegations, police in Ohio recorded a conversation between her and the boy, in which she admitted she was the responsible party and she knew it was against the law.

Madeja was sentenced Tuesday to 18 months to 15 years in prison.
