Mich. woman accused of having sex with son she gave up for adoption more than decade earlier

Police: Mich. woman had sex with biological son

WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A Detroit-area woman accused of having sex with her biological son after finding him on the Internet has been charged.

Police say 35-year-old Aimee Louise Sword of Waterford Township is facing one count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct after two counts were dropped earlier this week.

Authorities haven’t said when or where she and the teenager met, but said she gave him up for adoption more than 10 years earlier. She surrendered to police in April.

Sword is free on bond. Her lawyer, Kenneth Burch, tells The Oakland Press of Pontiac that his client “maintains her presumption of innocence.” He said the accusations have been very difficult for her.

Waterford Township is 30 miles northwest of Detroit.
