A Florida woman who gave birth to an 11-year-old boy's baby has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for sexual battery.
Marissa Mowry, 28, plead guilty to the crime and her fate was handed down in Hillsborough County Courthouse on Wednesday.
Mowry was working as the boy's live-in nanny when she had sex with him in January 2014.
At the time, she was 22 and the victim was aged 11.
In October of that year, Mowry gave birth to the boy's son - but his unsuspecting parents had no idea.
They believed Mowry's boyfriend was the father of the child, and she stayed working at the family home.
Mowry abused the boy at least 15 times over the course of several months, according to WFLA.
He did not report what had happened to him until 2017, at which point Mowry was arrested.
