Florida Woman Gets Prison for Sex with Boy - Updated

(Apopka, Florida) Stacey Sheldon waived her right to a jury trial and was found guilty by the court. Judge Alicia Latimore then sentenced Sheldon to three years in prison.

"Ms Sheldon just accepted responsibility in her case,” said Assistant State Attorney Ryan Vescio. “She's going to be going to prison three yrs will be on record as a sex offender for two years following."

Vesico said Sheldon did the right thing.

"She gave a confession to law enforcement,” he said. “We recovered a video of her and the child victim engaged in the sexual activity so there really weren't many issues at trial.”

According to Vescio the victim's sister found Sheldon's cell phone with pictures of Sheldon having sex with the boy after Sheldon accidently left it at the boys home last September.

The boy later told authorities that they had met the previous July and had engaged in sex acts several times before getting caught. (sic all)

The victim's family concurred with the disposition of the case.
