Sometimes the stories you read make you wonder if humanity’s moral compass is broken.
A 35-year-old Florida nurse, Alexis Von Yates, is behind bars after admitting she abused her 15-year-old stepson, a crime her own husband discovered when he walked in on the scene.
Von Yates took a plea deal that dropped her original sexual battery charge to a lesser felony of lewd and lascivious battery. She’ll serve two years in state prison, followed by community control and ten years’ probation as a registered sex offender. The judge has now added fines and victim-support payments to her sentence.
The victim’s mother called her an “incestuous predator” in court and said the boy’s life was shattered. Von Yates lost her nursing license and job immediately after the arrest.
Von Yates saying that his thing reminded her of her husband is bullshit. No jury in the world’s going to buy that, and the fact that she thought anyone might tells you how detached she is from reality. She’s probably dumb. In fact, so dumb that she thought saying something like that was her defense.
Also, what an absolute joke this is. Two years for destroying a kid’s sense of safety?
That’s nowhere near justice. If the roles were reversed, it’d be a headline about a life sentence, not a slap on the wrist.
I don’t know what the judge was smoking while giving out the decision because this wasn’t love, attraction, or even confusion. From what I can see, it was pure moral rot disguised as justification.
The human mind can convince itself of anything when it wants to feed a desire it knows is wrong. Alexis…she just erased it entirely, trying to rationalize her actions with something absurd.
You know what?
This is the kind of thinking that makes monsters look in the mirror and still see “normal.”
THE WHY: PERVERSION
This whole situation is so weird that my scale could actually break. I’ll give this one 5 stars.
“Look, most of us want a normal life without any drama, but life in this world is always strange, and uncertain.
