TYLER, Texas - A 39-year-old woman who had sexual relationship with her teenage stepson and later gave birth to their child has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Carla Kay Dinger pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a child before Tuesday's sentencing. She was also ordered to pay a $10,000 fine.
She admitted carrying on a sexual relationship for two years with her then-stepson, starting in 1998 when he was 14. It ended when Dinger found out she was pregnant with her stepson's child, prosecutor Jason Parrish said.
The stepson told his mother about the relationship in 2001, and she told Dinger's husband. He confronted Dinger and she admitted to the affair, Dinger has said. Dinger and the teen's father divorced in 2002.
The child she had with the teen is now 6 years old. Dinger had primary custody until 2004, when she and her ex-husband began sharing custody.
Dinger has tried to change her life, going to counseling and attending church, said her attorney, Clifton Holmes. She owns and operates a medical equipment business in Tyler, about 100 miles southeast of Dallas.
Dinger's former stepson, now 22, filed a lawsuit in 2004 against her seeking monetary damages.
In the lawsuit, he said Dinger had frequently provided him with methampetamines and alcohol.
The two had made plans for Dinger to divorce his father so they could marry, he said. But after Dinger found out she was pregnant, she sent him to live with his mother and told him not to tell anyone, he said.
They had one I read about several months ago--killed his girlfriend with a frying pan in 95 out in 00. Married a woman with a child and had a baby with her and then killed them all. So nice they gave him another chance.
Is she Woody Allen's sister?
No, this is more like Theseus and Phaedra
"Uh...20 years for the mother of a 6 year old for fulfilling the fantasies of every straight 14 year old boy? Usually you have to kill someone to get that much time. Some of these judges should be shot"
Does seem excessive considering other judges give probation for similiar crimes.
At first I thought of the poor child without his mother. Then I realized the kid is probably better off without this skank of a mom.
What the (*&(*& is going on in some female minds? Lost youth? Kink? Sheesh.
Twenty years?
Something is wrong with both sides of this crime. What consideration is being given to the child?
I dont know: The kid is on amphetamines, he is suing, he doesnt want his own child, It sounds to me like a little damage was done. Maybe not from the sex but from his situation at home.
Maybe she deserves 20 yars. Where was Dad obviously he wasnt cutting the nustard in the sex department, sounds like he slept through a lot of things.
Woman looks like a meth addict
The husband/father had no clue this was going on under his nose? WOW! I feel for this poor little child. What a tangled web they've all woven. I dont think the stepson should get a dime. He knew better at 14 what he was doing unless hes impared in someway. Maybe the drug use. 20 yrs seems harsh when you compare it to what some of these teachers have gotten. I hope whatever money she has (if any)goes to the child not to the stepson.
What can I say? Weird People ...
I see a pattern forming here....but I must go adjust my tinfoil hat now.
ROTFLMAO!
