Florida Woman Gets Life in Sex Case

(Manatee County, Florida) Earlier today, a 31-year-old Bradenton woman, Tabatha Crawford, was convicted by a jury of performing a sex act on a five-year-old boy and taking a picture of it.

Crawford was convicted of capital sexual battery and sexual performance by a child.

Crawford was arrested in December 2009 after investigators found a photograph on her computer showing the assault.

Authorities had been investigating her husband on similar charges when they found the image, according to the sheriff’s office.

Crawford was sentenced to life in prison. She will not be eligible for parole.
