Woman who had sex with 5-year-old boy gets life

A 33-year-old woman charged with having sex with a 5-year-old boy went back on trial today in Sanford.


Kelly Lumadue was convicted last year of sexually battering the boy, but a judge threw out that verdict, citing potential juror misconduct and an overly-aggressive prosecutor.

Lumadue has admitted having sex with the child. Her acts also were captured on videotape, something prosecutors plan to play for jurors, just as they did at her last trial.

The sex happened 12 years ago, when Lumadue was 21, but she wasn't charged until 2003. That's when the tapes surfaced. A garbage collector found them in a bag outside her Volusia County home. They were among videotapes Lumadue had thrown out.
