Texas Woman Gets 28 Years Prison for Sex with Son, 3

(San Antonio, Texas)

A mother and former Army sergeant who pleaded guilty to a charge that she recorded herself having sex with her 3-year-old son was sentenced in federal court Friday to 28 years in prison.

Kimberly Epperson, 25, accepted a plea deal that set the range of punishment between 15 and 30 years in prison for one count of production of child pornography related to the videos and pictures she sent to former boyfriend Wade Allen Perkins, 26, also an Army sergeant whom she met while they were stationed at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston.

Chief U.S. District Judge Fred Biery told Epperson moments before her sentencing Friday that her assaults on her son had effectively “sentenced him to life,” adding he would have 70 years or more to remember and relive the abuses.

Good riddance.
