Genetic Sexual Attraction with her son has been sentenced to prison. Kerana Todorov

The woman convicted of incest with her 16-year-old biological
son was sentenced Wednesday in Napa County Superior Court to more than
four years in state prison.
Mistie Rebecca Atkinson, 32, of Lake
County, received four years, eight months in state prison under a plea
agreement reached in May. Atkinson pleaded no contest to incest, oral
copulation, lewd contact with a minor and distribution of lewd material
to a minor.
I'm wondering how the boy is doing. Some his age would be very traumatized by this. Others, not so much. Still, age of consent laws are there and the line is drawn.
In a hand-written letter
to the court, Atkinson pleaded for leniency, saying she never intended
to become intimate with her biological son.
“I don’t feel like I
should have the charge of incest because there is something called
genetic attraction that is a very powerful (phenomenon) that happens to
50 (percent) of people becoming reunited with a long-lost relative,” she
wrote in her letter to the judge.
Genetic Sexual Attraction should not excuse statutory rape. However, like I've written before, if she has never done anything like this before then there is little reason to believe she will prey on others.
In February,
Ukiah police met with the boy’s grandmother and other relatives who
alleged Atkinson was having an incestuous relationship with the son. The
boy, who was described as “out of control” by police, was staying with a
relative in Ukiah until he could be placed in a group home, according
to court documents.
The father had sent the boy to Ukiah partly in
an effort to separate him from his biological mother, authorities
reported in Atkinson’s probation report.
The grandmother alleged
the boy was sneaking out of his relative’s house to meet with Atkinson
in spite of a restraining order barring the woman from contacting the
boy, authorities said in the court filing.
If you do the math, she probably didn't have the best adolescence either. Sad. I hope all involved get their problems worked out, and if, as with an infamous schoolteacher, this boy ends up deciding as a man he wants to be with her, I hope the law will not interfere.
