Mom Arranges Sex For 13-Year-Old DaughterPOSTED: 2:42 pm EDT September 23, 2005
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- A Long Island, N.Y., mother has admitted that she made it possible for two men to have sex with her 13-year-old daughter and the girl's 14-year-old friend at a White Plains hotel.
The 41-year-old woman pleaded guilty to second-degree rape and other charges stemming from the April 10 incident.
Westchester County, N.Y., Judge Rory Bellantoni said he would sentence her to 10 years probation that would include her time served in jail.
The woman took the girls to White Plains for a shopping trip and an overnight stay at the hotel. Police said the girls met Gilberto Gonzalez, 19, and Michael Berger, 18, outside the mall and invited them back to the hotel. The mother bought the group beer and alcoholic lemonade and was with them in the hotel room when the sexual activity occurred.
Rape charges against the men are still pending.
The woman had told detectives when she was arrested that she was hoping to curb the girls' obsession with sex. She said it was time for the girls to "have sex and get it over with." The woman's husband has filed for divorce, and she has been allowed no contact with her daughter.
The woman has been held without bail at the jail since her arrest on April 15. She could have faced up to 15 years in state prison if she had gone to trial and been convicted.
