A Kentucky mom was sentenced Tuesday to 16 years behind bars after pleading guilty to incest and sodomy charges related to the sexual abuse of her 4-year-old son.
The Louisville mom, Kelly Lynn South, will also have to register as a sex offender, reported the local Courier-Journal.
The 40-year-old woman was nabbed in Oct. 2015 for the abuse after an investigation by the Louisville Metro Police Department.
South was charged with five counts of first-degree sexual abuse, two counts of sodomy and one count of incest, according to court records.
The mother admitted to police that she performed oral sex on her toddler son, in addition to other unspeakable acts, between Sept. 2012 and Sept. 2015, according to local TV station WAVE3.
It remains unclear if the young boy has been placed with family or in foster care.
