A woman was arrested, charged and convicted of persistent sexual abuse of a child under 16 after having sex with a young boy and giving birth to his daughter, prosecutors in Australia said.

Now, the 40-year-old woman who has not been identified, has been sentenced to serve six years in prison after being convicted of having sex with the 12-year-old boy.

The girl is being cared for by the boy and his mother, and the Department of Human Services will take the girl to prison for weekly visits with the rapist.

According to the police investigation, the rapist had been married and living in Melbourne with her three children when she became involved with the boy.

The woman took the victim to school when she was having marital problems. The woman then began having sex with the boy when he was 12 years old.

The boy told investigators that he had sex with the woman more than 20 times. The woman said that she was attracted to the boy because he was sexually mature.

The woman pleaded guilty to one count of persistent sexual abuse of a child under 16. The woman has been sentenced to serve six years in jail.
