It is not very often that we hear a victim’s family offer forgiveness to a defendant, but that’s what we heard today, even though his mother says the boy has suffered greatly and that it’s created a real hardship for his entire family.
This case goes back about a year and a half, when Melinda Deluca was arrested, after she had sex with the 16 year old boy on at least two occasions.
The case took a bizarre turn this summer, when Deluca was found beaten and had to be airlifted to the hospital, claiming two teenage boys assaulted her as payback. It turns out, she made it all up, apparently to get sympathy.
In October, she took a plea deal to reduced charges and today was sentenced.
