Woman gets probation for sex with underage neighbor

A San Antonio woman who admitted to Child Protective Services investigators that she left her children unsupervised to go have sex with a 13-year-old neighbor was ordered Monday to serve deferred adjudication probation for aggravated sexual assault of a child.

Prosecutors had recommended prison for Amanda Ann Nabers, 26, who will have to register as a sex offender for life.

But she gave a full confession, she has already lost her children, her house and her job, and the victim's family was in favor of probation, defense attorney Carlos Martinez told state District Judge Juanita Vasquez-Gardner.

Nabers told authorities the trysts took place four or five times from February to August 2011 while she was high on marijuana and Xanax.

Had Nabers been a man, she would more than likely be prison bound, but the wishes of the victim and his family play a large roll in determining the sentence, the judge said.
