US woman imprisoned for having sex with son

Michigan: A Detroit woman who pleaded guilty of having sex with the biological son, she gave up for adoption and later tracked down on the Internet, has been sentenced from nine to 30 years in prison.

Aimee L. Sword, 36, of Waterford Township apologised at the court on Monday in Oakland County Circuit Court. She had pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in a deal with prosecutors.

Police say Sword used Facebook in 2008 to find her son, who is now 16. She had given him up for adoption as an infant.

He testified they had sex in Waterford Township northwest of Detroit, and in Grand Rapids.
