Columbus, Ohio -- A woman who gained national notoriety for writing a book about being raped, then abandoning her newborn in a college trash been has been sentenced to prison for being the rapist in the case.

Twyana Davis, 30, claimed in 1995 that she had been raped, appeared on television shows to tell her story.

She also formed a nonprofit group aimed to prevent teen pregnancies and provide alternatives for young mothers who didn't want to keep their babies.

But she also was harboring a secret: She wasn't raped. She was the rapist, Franklin County prosecutors said.

Davis was sentenced Tuesday in Common Pleas Court to 10 to 25 years in prison on a charge of rape. She had confessed to having a sexual relationship with a 12-year-old cousin, leading to her unwanted pregnancy.

Judge Michael J. Holbrook labeled her a sexual predator and also fined her $10,000. Davis successfully manipulated the system to her advantage after the crime, Holbrook said.

Geez, the whole family are nothing but a bunch of sex-crazed sickos. Throw the key away on both of them. We don't need them in the gene pool.
