Teen’s Biological Mother Slams Alexis Von Yates at Sentencing
At her sentencing last year, the teen’s biological mother slammed Von Yates as a “coward” and said what happened to her son makes her sick.
“I am angry, I am hurt, at times it makes me physically ill. But I, like (my son) will rise above,” the mother said. “Despite all of the trauma inflicted upon him, he still has a beautiful life to look forward to. A life full of love, hope and endless possibilities.”
Then she turned her anger to Von Yates: “As for you, Alexis, you have shown absolutely no remorse or accountability for your despicable actions.”
The mother added: “You systemically manipulated, groomed, and s–ually abused a child. Through your actions, and through your conduct since, you have proven to be a coward.
“There is nowhere you can go to escape the truth. For the rest of your life the world will see you for exactly what you are – an incestuous pedophile who will forever only be remembered for what she took from a child.”
The teenage victim, who is still undergoing therapy, has reportedly only spoken to his father once in the past year. He spoke during the sentencing as well, but the audio was muted from the courtroom feed. Von Yates kept her head down throughout his comments.
