A Nebraska mother was convicted of the sexual abuse of two children during a sleepover her daughter held at her home. Christina Greer from Nebraska is mother to an 11-year-old girl who, like any other kid her age, would have friends over for sleepovers. But, on Wednesday, March 10, 2021, the little girl’s mother is alleged to have molested one of her friends.
The 38-year-old has been found guilty of three counts of first-degree sexual assault of a child, six counts of felony child abuse, and two counts of witness tampering by a Sarpy County jury, according to the Associated Press. The woman is scheduled to be sentenced on April 19 and faces a mandatory sentence of at least 45 years to 102 years of life in prison.
Greer had sexual intercourse with two boys, aged 12 and 13, while they came to meet their friend, Greer’s 11-year-old daughter for weekend sleepovers in late 2017 and early 2018. She also gave marijuana-infused gummy bears to the two boys and told them not to tell anyone about the parties, according to the Sarpy County attorney’s office.
Greer groomed two of the boys into having sex with her, and police found sexually explicit photos of Greer on one victim’s phone, court documents reveal.
“The victims had to go through a lot, to put it lightly,” said prosecutor Phil Kleine with the Sarpy County Attorney’s office. “I hope that, with the court’s sentence, the victims will be able to find some form of closure and be able to move forward with their lives.”
“Children who were at the sleepover testified that they observed the defendant and one boy kissing,” prosecutors said in the release.
Greer’s daughter, who was 12 at the time, revealed during a court pretrial hearing in 2019 that some of the events included margaritas and drinking games, local newspaper Kearney Hub reported at the time. “She said we shouldn’t tell anybody because she’d get in trouble and lose her kids,” the girl said about her mother, adding that the kids would get drunk “every time.”
Greer groomed the boys into having sex with her and then took pictures while doing it. Authorities found the images on one of the boy’s phones, court documents show. She also told them to delete evidence from their phones and not to tell anyone about their sexual encounters, according to prosecutors.
Philip Kleine with the Sarpy County Attorney’s Office said this case initially involved one victim, but over time the case took a turn. “This is a case that, just through investigation, through depositions with victims, they just started to talk about more things that were taking place at her house,” Kleine explained.
Greer was sentenced in April and faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 45 years up to a maximum of life imprisonment between the eleven counts.
Greer made a statement during her sentencing hearing saying she was “so ashamed and sorry.” Greer will be eligible for parole in 32 years.
