A Florida nurse has been sentenced to two years in prison after her husband caught her having sex with his son last year.
Alexis Von Yates was on a sofa with her then-15-year-old stepson late at night after they had watched a horror movie together. His father opened the front door while returning home from work and caught them in the act, according to court documents.
She appeared in court on Monday and agreed to a no-contest plea to lewd or lascivious battery on a child between 12 and 16 – a lesser charge that had been reduced from sexual battery by a person in familial authority, a first-degree felony that carries up to life in prison.

On the night of the incident, the father was working a late shift as a lineman, while Alexis Von Yates and her stepson stayed up together after his siblings went to bed, according to an affidavit.
They smoked a THC cartridge, played video games and watched a horror movie. As they sat close on the couch, Alexis Von Yates allegedly told the boy she was “horny,” hadn’t had sex in two weeks and had been making sexual jokes for days, which escalated before the father came home, according to court documents.
They heard a noise in the garage but continued on before the father barged in.
The father, Frank Von Yates, roared at his wife, calling her a “c—t” and “child predator” while his son ran into the bathroom, according to court documents.
