A Florida nurse who engaged in sexual activity with her 15-year-old stepson has been sentenced to two years in prison. Alexis Von Yates, 35, was caught by the boy's father in July 2024 while watching a horror movie at their Ocala home.
Von Yates pleaded no contest to lewd and lascivious battery last month as part of a plea deal that reduced her potential prison time. She was initially charged with sexual battery by a person in familial authority.
At the sentencing hearing on Tuesday, the victim's mother condemned Von Yates, calling her an 'incestuous pedophile' who groomed and violated her son. She accused Von Yates of showing no remorse for her actions.
According to court documents, Von Yates had made sexual jokes to the teen for about a week before the incident. She lost her nursing license and job following her arrest in November.
In addition to prison time, Von Yates will serve two years of community control—similar to house arrest—and 10 years of probation as a registered sex offender. She must also complete 200 hours of community service and have no contact with the victim.
