Attorney says father of her unborn child is 14-year-old

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (AP) -- A pregnant 34-year-old woman acknowledged having sex with a 14-year-old boy when she pleaded guilty to a single count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct.

In exchange for her plea, entered Monday, two similar charges were dropped against Stephanie Elizabeth Bissell, of Spring Lake, Mich. The prosecution declined to say who fathered the woman's unborn child, but her attorney said outside the courtroom it was the boy.

During a hearing at Ottawa County Circuit Court, Judge Ed Post asked Bissell: "Did you have sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old boy?"

"Yes, your honor," she replied.

Her sentencing hearing was delayed until June 20 because she is six months pregnant and due to give birth May 25. Under the plea deal, the dismissed charges will be considered for sentencing purposes.

Bissell faces up to 15 years in prison. She also will be placed on the statewide sex offenders registration list for the next 25 years.

Interesting title. I read it as the woman was pregnant while she was having sex with the teen.

Either way, it's another creepy story.

[jacob_wi]

which, the woman or the boy?

Maybe she should look for a job as a teacher?

[Conspiracy Guy]

The woman for sure.

That seems to be the trend.

Older woman, really young male. This seems to be occurring a great deal in America. What do you reckon is the cause? It is a dreadful recurring story.

Was she..... a teacher ?

What do you reckon is the cause?

I think it all began with Kinsey and the sexual revolution.

""Maybe she should look for a job as a teacher?""

Or bus driver.

What do you reckon is the cause?

Hmmm ... let's see ... "Sex in the City", "Desperate Housewives", commercials, etc ... it's everywhere.  This has been a trend for a while now.

We need a separate Forum on FR just to handle these stories..

Dear God...what has happened to women? They are killing their children and having sex with students. It's disgusting and saddens me terribly.

"Was she..... a teacher ? '

Yes but nonpaid.

But people have a "right" to watch those shows. Or at least that seems to be the prevaling wisdom by some here at FR.
