Aimee L. Sword’s case is probably the most disturbing among the top searched news in the internet this week. A mother from Waterford, Michigan, Sword was sentenced with nine to thirty years of imprisonment at the Oakland Country Circuit Court last Monday after she pleaded guilty of having sex with her own son.
Sword gave her child away for adoption when he was only a few days old to a family situated in Grand Rapids. She received constant updates and letters from the adoptive family until the boy was 14 years old. However, the letters and pictures stopped coming so Sword decided to contact her son through Myspace for a personal meet-up.
Sword’s lawyer, Mitchell Ribitwer, released a statement narrating his client’s feelings for her estranged child. He said that the moment Sword saw the boy; there was something that clicked inside her which, strange enough, is not a mother and son relationship but a connection between lovers. Ribitwer stated that the boy is fully aware that Sword is his mother.
The physical interaction between mother and child started when the teenager got in trouble in Grand Rapids. The boy’s adoptive mother who is clueless about the relationship during that time agreed for him to temporarily stay with his biological mother in Waterford. Sword was married that time and shares her home with her husband and five children. Unfortunately, after returning to Grand Rapids, the boy talked about his special relationship with his councilor who then reported the incident to the police.
Sword, who was originally charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct, was sentenced by Judge Daniel O’ Brien after she pleaded guilty of having sex with her son at a Grand Rapids Hotel and her Waterford home back in 2008. Ribitwer stated that Sword, who was molested during her childhood years, is still searching for reasons as to why the situation unfolded that way. She announced that his client is left very confused and is planning to seek some counseling help while in prison. A former makeup counter clerk at Macy’s, Sword apologized for her actions after she was sentenced.
Sword seems to be have mistaken her feelings of longing as romantic interest for her child due to her own dark childhood past. Oakland Country Prosecutor Jessica Copper even stated that it was her first time to witness such a bizarre relationship between a mother and a child.
