HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama man and his girlfriend have been convicted on multiple charges after prosecutors say he directed the woman to rape his 11-year-old autistic son because he thought the child was gay.
AL.com reports a Madison County jury on Tuesday found 29-year-old Sean Cole and Khadeijah Moore guilty of rape, sodomy and sexual abuse of a child younger than 12.
Prosecutor Tim Douthit said Cole asked the then-20-year-old Moore to perform sex acts on his visiting child in November 2016, after finding him in a “compromising position” with another boy.
The boy lived in Georgia with his mother, who reported what happened to Huntsville police.
