Mother of two jailed 15 years for sex with teenage boys

MICHIGAN: A married mother of two was jailed 15 years on Monday for having sex with two teenagers after luring them with naked pictures on Snapchat.
Brooke Lajiness, 38, of Lima Township, Michigan, was sentenced on Monday to four years and nine months to 15 years in prison following an earlier guilty plea to several counts of criminal sexual conduct.
Lajiness, who confessed to having sex with the boys in her car when they were 14 and 15 last year, appeared on the verge of tears while reading a statement before a judge prior to sentencing.
"This has been the biggest regret of my life," she said. "My family means everything to me, and I've caused them great pain for these regretful choices I have made."
The mother of one of the victims said in an impact statement – which was read by a victim advocate – that her son has suffered serious psychological and emotional damage from the illicit trysts.
"You made a conscious effort on several occasions to make arrangements to meet my son, sneak out of your house, start your car, leave your husband and children at home and drive to my son's father's house, back into the driveway between midnight and 4am, wait for my son to run in the driveway, commit a crime and leave," the mother wrote.
"Did you know that this was wrong? Did you ever worry about the harm you were doing to my son?"
The woman said her son, who is in therapy, was picked on by classmates who said "it's cool" that he had sex with Lajiness.
"My son shared with me that the guys at school have no idea what he's been going through and how he struggles," the mother wrote. "He has had to stay strong in front of them."
