Dena Greene Guilty of Sex with Boy

(Gates, New York) In July 2007, a 36-year-old mother-of-three, Dena Greene, was arrested for allegedly raping two 15-year-old boys in the summer of 2005.

Greene faced two counts each of criminal sexual act and rape, all felonies, and misdemeanor charges of unlawfully dealing with a child, endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of sexual abuse.

In September 2007 in Monroe County Court, Greene pleaded not guilty to the charges before Judge John R. Schwartz. Greene is free on an appearance ticket with no bail since she's not considered a flight risk.

Yesterday, Greene pleaded guilty to a criminal sexual act saying, however, that she only had sex with one of the boys. Greene is free on her own recognizance until her sentencing in February when she faces a possible four years in prison.

Four years? I doubt it. I think she'll walk with probation.

My prediction was close. Greene, 37, was sentenced yesterday to six months in the county jail and 10 years probation. She will also have to register as a sex offender for 10 years.
