Mother Of 3 Arrested For Sex With 16-Year-Old

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California mother of three has been arrested for having sex with a relative's 16-year-old boyfriend.

Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna says investigators also believe 32-year-old Mayra Gonzalez gave birth to the teenager's child.

Orange County prosecutors have charged the Santa Ana woman with six felony counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor and two felony counts of oral copulation of a minor.

She's in jail pending arraignment Friday with bail set at $20,000.

Investigators say Gonzalez had an ongoing sexual relationship with the teenager during a six-month period ending in December. The victim is a close friend of the defendant's relative.

If convicted, she could be sentenced to nearly eight years in prison and ordered to register as a sex offender.
