A mother in Ohio aided her live-in-lover to rape her
12-year-old daughter. She was on Wednesday sentenced to life in prison. Jeannie
Mae Carpenter pleaded guilty earlier this month to helping her live-in
boyfriend, James John Kirksey, rape one of her children.
Judge Frank Fregiato handed down the sentence to the 37-year-old
woman in a Belmont County courtroom. Carpenter pleaded guilty to charges of one
count of complicity to commit rape, two counts of permitting to child abuse,
one count of endangering children, and one count of obstructing official
business, WTRF reported. She will be eligible for parole
in 20 years and have to register as a Tier 3 sex offender every 90 days for the
rest of her life.
Her 32-year-old boyfriend, who was already a registered sex
offender prior to the case, was sentenced to two life terms in prison by the
same judge in November.
Police said the rapes happened while Carpenter held down her
daughter as Kirksey raped the child, WTRF reported.
It's unclear how many times the child was raped or when the
sexual abuse against the girl began.
