A former nurse was sentenced to two years in prison in the United States after pleading no contest to a charge of lewd and lascivious battery for engaging in sexual activity with her 15-year-old stepson. Alexis Von Yates, 34, will also serve two years of community control, followed by 10 years of sex offender probation and 200 hours of community service, along with covering court costs and fines.
Court documents revealed that Von Yates’ husband, Frank Yates, caught her with their teenage stepson on the living room sofa in July of last year. The nurse claimed she targeted her stepson because he reminded her of her husband and had joked about her sexual desires leading up to the assault.
The stepson recounted the incident where Von Yates initiated sexual acts despite his objections due to his age. They were interrupted by a noise from the garage but continued until the boy’s father walked in. The teenager fled to the bathroom while his father confronted Von Yates, who claimed she had asked the boy to stop. However, the boy expressed fear of his father’s reaction and later reported the incident to the police after being taken to his grandparents’ house.
Following the assault, Von Yates and her husband separated, as revealed in a prison report. When asked to make a statement in court, Von Yates declined to comment.
This disturbing case has led to legal consequences for the former nurse, affecting not only her family but also her professional status and reputation.
