AFP - A French mother who held down her four-year-old son while he was raped by his stepfather in a prison visiting room was sentenced to a maximum 20 years in jail.
Her partner, 31-year-old Lionel Barthelemy, who has been jailed since August 2009 for violence, also received the same sentence from the court in Strasbourg, eastern France.
Both Sabrina Bonner, 25, and Barthelemy have admitted to multiple counts of rape and sexual assault of the boy, now eight.
Some of the assaults, including the rape in the visiting room at the Toul detention centre in eastern France, had been filmed on a mobile phone.
"The behaviour of Sabrina B. is not even that of an animal towards its child," said prosecutor Gilles Delorme, who also described Barthelemy as "a sadist in the purest form".
At the detention centre, Bonner had blindfolded her son and made him kneel on a chair in front of Barthelemy, then held him by the arms as he was raped.
The case had raised questions over why prison staff failed to stop, or even notice, an act of such brutality taking place during what was supposed to be a supervised visit to a prisoner serving a sentence for domestic violence, who had been diagnosed as having schizophrenic tendencies.
Investigators had found that black bin bags were used to cover the glass window of the door of the visiting room.
Yannick Pheulpin, the lawyer representing the victim, said he intended, at the end of the trial, to initiate legal proceedings aimed at holding the prison to account for the suffering of the child.
Psychiatrist Jean-Pierre May told the court that the couple had a "sado-masochist relationship" in which each took turns to be "master" and "slave".
"It is hard to determine who used the other more" during the savage acts carried out on the boy, said another expert, Jean-Georges Rohmer.
Bonner has admitted carrying out multiple sexual assaults on her child during 2009 and 2010, filming them on her mobile phone and giving the phone's memory card to her imprisoned partner.
She gave herself up to police in May 2011, shortly before Barthelemy was due to be released from prison.
Bonner has claimed that she carried out the assaults under the orders and threat of violence from Barthelemy.
Just put these critters out of our misery.
These are animals, not humans. Put them on the rotisserie of life.
I read the first sentence, then my head exploded.
What a horrible person. Even an insane person has to know when they are horribly harming a person.
Demonic.

This kind of stuff happens frequently in the Third World countries of the EU ... it’s the NWO way.
saw a similar story from here in the US the other day.
Involved the rape/murder of a 4 month old because the mother wanted to “spice up” things for her bf.
Was too sickened by it to post it here.
Agreed. People like this do not deserve to breath the same air as human beings.
What kind of sick mentally ill mother would do such a thing to her child and pick such an animal for a partner.
Yes!
>>A French mother who held down her four-year-old son while he was raped by his stepfather in a prison visiting room was sentenced to..<<
Slow painful death isn’t available in France? Well they gave us the guillotine so maybe they can come up with something that fits this crime.
These are not human beings. They are proof that Evil Exists and assaults us all, everywhere.
If ever there was justification for the guillotine, these two sure as heck qualify.
Drawing and quartering works for me, too.

An evil mother.
God save us...
Good Goawd
Execute them both
My brother used to supervise prison visits. There was no touching allowed. When they were all in the room, he would say, You get two warnings against touching. Consider this your second warning.
Some crimes are beyond the limits of civilized humanity,and need a God to determine the appropriate punishment.
I am in favor of expeditiously sending these types of criminals to God's judgement.
Not all prolife are anti-death penalty.
