Had Sex With Teenage Boys at Parties Where She Provided Drugs, Alcohol
GOLDEN, Colo. (July 25) - A woman who told police she wanted to be a "cool mom" pleaded guilty to sexual assault Monday and could face up to 58 years in prison for having sex with high school boys at parties where she supplied drugs and alcohol.
Silvia Johnson, 40, pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of sexual assault and nine felony counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors dropped two counts of distribution of methamphetamine.
Prosecutors did not recommend a sentence, but each sexual assault count carries up to four years in prison and a fine of $5,000, and each contributing count carries up to nine years and a $500,000 fine, district attorney's spokeswoman Pam Russell said.
Sentencing was scheduled for Sept. 26.
Johnson, who is free on bail, held parties for the boys almost weekly between October 2003 and October 2004, according to an arrest affidavit released in January.
The affidavit accused Johnson of providing drugs and alcohol to eight boys and having sex with five of them.
"She described herself as a 'cool mom,"' Detective R.J. Vander Veen wrote in the affidavit. He said Johnson told investigators "she was never popular with classmates in high school and now began 'feeling like one of the group."'
Police said the investigation began after one of the boys told his mother about the encounters, and she reported it to authorities. Johnson was arrested in December.
