Foster Mom Gets Prison for Sex with Foster Son - Updated

(Weber County, Utah) On Wednesday, former foster mom Jennifer Montag, 41, pleaded guilty to two counts of forcible sex abuse stemming from a four-month sexual relationship with her 14-year-old foster son.

As a result, Judge Ernest Jones sentenced Montag to prison, up to 15 years.

Montag said she made the confession to police after she had taken heavy doses of medication for her bipolar disorder.

“They were badgering me and badgering me,” she said, later adding, “This is not the first time I said things I didn’t do.”

Jones said Montag’s statements amounted to denial.

“There’s no remorse,” he said. “Not once does she say, ‘I’m sorry for what I put this 14-year-old through.’ It’s all about herself.”

Montag said the relationship with the boy began with her efforts to help him “not have sex.” She claimed the boy was removed from a previous state placement because of sexual activity.

“I was trying to help him sexually ... and it backfired, and it looks horrible,” she said. She did not elaborate on what she was doing to help him, and prosecutors said none of her previous statements explain that claim.

Interestingly, there have been a number of convicted female sex offenders who have been diagnosed or professed as bipolar. Is it possible that the bipolar condition leads to sexual perversion in women?

Oddly, male sex offenders rarely claim to suffer from psychological maladies and, frankly, nobody cares. They're deemed to be just ordinary perverts.
