KEY POINTS

  • The police found explicit images of the assault in a victim's phone 
  • Christina Greer's daughter said her mother gave the children alcohol
  • Greer told the children not to tell anybody what happened during the sleepover 

A Nebraska woman has been sentenced to over 60 years in prison for sexually abusing her daughter’s friends during several sleepovers at her residence.

Christina Greer, 38, had sexually assaulted two boys -- aged 12 and 13 -- while they were visiting her 11-year-old daughter for weekend sleepovers between late 2017 and early 2018, reported NY Daily News.

On Monday, Greer was sentenced to 64 to 102 years in prison for multiple counts of sexual assault and witness tampering. She was convicted of two counts of first-degree sexual assault, six counts of felony child abuse and two counts of witness tampering. Greer was acquitted of two other counts, reported Associated Press (AP).

Investigators, along with the help of Greer’s daughter, identified up to six teens who regularly spent the weekend at her house, reported Omaha World-Herald. An additional victim was identified in connection with the child enticement charge, amounting to a total of seven minors.

According to her daughter's testimony, Greer also supplied the young children with margaritas and marijuana-infused gummy bears during the sleepovers. She told the children not to tell anybody about what happened during the sleepover and delete all the photographs from their phones as she could get in trouble and lose her kids, AP reported.

Greer was accused of grooming the young boys into having sex with her and taking photos of the abuse. According to the Sarpy County attorney’s office, the police found explicit photos in one of the victims’ phones.

A deputy testified in court that a 13-year-old boy told him he had sex with Greer on three occasions during sleepovers at her house. According to Kleine, Greer’s daughter testified she heard her mother and a boy kissing in the bedroom.

“This case took 3 1/2 years from (Greer’s) arrest to sentencing,” said prosecutor Phil Kleine with the Sarpy County Attorney’s office, reported AP. “The victims had to go through a lot, to put it lightly. I hope that, with the court’s sentence, the victims will be able to find some form of closure and be able to move forward with their lives.”

Last month, a 22-year-old mother from Cincinnati was arrested for alleged child and sexual abuse of her 18-month-old child.
