The mum, from Louisville, Kentucky, has been caged for 16 years after the vile acts emerged in court.

She is said to have performed oral sex on the boy as she started abusing him when he was just four-years-old.

Courts heard she abused the boy for three years and she was convicted of five counts of sexual abuse

Olu Stevens, the Jefferson Circuit County Judge, ordered her to register as a sex offender for life.

Cops discovered the 40-year-old woman – who Daily Star Online is not naming to protect her victim – had abused the boy from 2012 to 2015.

She admitted in engaging in sexual activity with her son and was also charged with two counts of sodomy and one count of incest.

Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear said: “It’s unimaginable the suffering this victim endured and will endure.

“This court action held accountable the victim’s abuser and brought some justice for the crimes against the victim.”

Yesterday, mum India Kirksey was charged with raping a 4-year-old boy in an alleged attack filmed online.
