A 31-year-old Colorado woman who confessed to sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy has been sentenced to 90 days in jail. According to KKTV, the woman also gave birth to a baby fathered by the boy.
According to the outlet, Andrea Serrano will serve 90 days in jail minus the seven days she has already served.
This decision was made after the family of the alleged sexual assault victim condemned the court for initially allowing Serrano to accept a plea deal with no jail time.
The initial plea deal solely consisted of Serrano serving “ten years to life” on a “sex offender intensive supervised probation.”
The victim’s mother reportedly spoke with KKTV after the plea deal was offered to Serrano in March.
“I feel like my son is robbed of his childhood. Now he’s having to be a father. He’s a victim, and he’s going to have to live with that for the rest of his life… I feel like if she was a man and he was a little girl, it would definitely be different. They would be seeking more. I feel like because he is not a woman, they are not. They are having compassion for her.”
Additionally, the 13-year-old’s mother shared her sentiments with the court. She reportedly explained that giving the 31-year-old no jail time for sexually abusing and having a child with a minor would set a “bad example for the community.”
“…she needs to go to jail…”
During Serrano’s sentencing, she reportedly expressed her desire to apologize to the victim, his family, her family, and her children.
According to KKTV, the 31-year-old will begin serving her jail sentence next week.
The Fountain Police reportedly began investigating the 31-year-old after they received a “tip” about her alleged crime on June 27, 2022. According to the outlet, Serrano was arrested in July 2022.
“Through further investigation, detectives learned 31-year-old Andrea Serrano was having a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old juvenile male.”
Additionally, Serrano confessed to the alleged crime.
According to The Gazette, she initially faced two charges, one for “sexual assault against a child” and a second for “sexual assault against a child under the age of 15 by one in a position of trust.” However, she entered a guilty plea to a charge of incest in February.
