Mother Who Enslaved Son on Trial

This opening paragraph distils the case all too clearly.

Should a wheelchair-bound city woman who sexually assaulted her young son and sent pornographic pictures of him to her bondage “master” be put behind bars?

Sending a helpless foolish woman suffering from cerebral palsy to prison does seem cruel.

Defence lawyer Larry Anderson argued his client “is not a predator” and said she herself is a victim, calling her a vulnerable woman who was exploited and manipulated.

“She fell prey to a predator and she fell for it and it led her into actions which have caused her years of angst, anxiety and self-loathing,” said Anderson.

He said she does not pose a risk to society and argued it would be appropriate to give her a jail sentence of under two years and allow her to serve it in the community.

If she weren’t disabled it wouldn’t seem so confusing. But turning her son into a “sissy slave” at the command of some cyber “master” is an act that is very hard to forgive.

To jail or not?
