Pontiac – A Waterford Township woman who used the Internet to track down the 14-year-old son she gave up for adoption when he was only 2 days old was sentenced Monday to nine years in prison for having sex with the boy.
Aimee Louise Sword, 36, entered a guilty plea to one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in exchange for the dismissal of two other sex offenses that involved her son. Before sentencing by Oakland Circuit Judge Daniel P. O’Brien, Sword – who has five other children – apologized for her actions.
“I want to apologize to the court, my children and my sister,” Sword told O’Brien. “I am remorseful for everything that occurred. … I don’t understand it.”
AdvertisementAssistant Prosecutor Nicki Weisberger described Sword as committing a “selfish, cowardly, despicable act” with the boy, now 16. At a preliminary exam in January, the teenager testified she contacted him in 2008 while he was living with an adoptive family in Grand Rapids. Sex acts later occurred at a motel and at the home of one of Sword’s relatives in Waterford Township.
Defense attorney Mitchell Ribitwer noted Sword entered a guilty plea to spare the teenager from having to testify at trial. Ribitwer said Sword utilized the Facebook website to contact the boy.
