Judgment expected in BFN woman's appeal against sentence for incest | News Article

Bloemfontein - Judgment is expected in the Bloemfontein High Court today in the case of a local woman who has appealed her life sentence for sexually assaulting her son.

The 52-year-old was sentenced in December and jailed in Johannesburg.
 
She committed the crimes over a ten year period, which started when her son was seven-years-old.
 
Her legal representative, Temba Diba, says the life sentence is too harsh on his client, who admitted to the crimes.
 
He added that they would like to have it overturned to a suspended sentence.
