Candance Morris had good times with other moms in her East Price Hill neighborhood, playing cards and hanging out together.
But what Morris, 32, did with their sons earned her prison time Monday and has the families worried about their sons’ health.
Morris pleaded guilty Monday to four counts of unlawful sexual contact with minors and was sent by Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Melba Marsh to prison for a year. But it’s unknown how long the two teens she had sex with have to worry about their health because Morris is HIV-positive.
“I cared for her. I cared for her son,” said the mother of one of the 14-year-olds Morris abused. “I feel like she planned and plotted. I feel betrayed.”
Morris often watched the teens when their parents went out. That’s what happened New Year’s Eve when she said she’d watch the boys.
“We were going to church and she knew that and she blew my phone up (asking) to bring my baby over,” the mother said.
While partying, Morris admitted she smoked many marijuana joints, drank a half-gallon of vodka as well as beer and champagne. Then she got in bed with the teens and had sex with both of them at the same time multiple ways.
That stayed a secret until Morris argued with one of the mothers, got into a physical altercation with her and then shouted that she’d had sex – in a more profane way – with the woman’s son.
“I apologize for the pain that I caused and I know my actions were irresponsible,” Morris told the judge, blaming “my bad habits” for the incident. “I would never have done it intentionally.”
Initially, Morris pleaded guilty then told officials that the teens took advantage of her sexually when she was passed out that night. Facing a potential 30 years in prison, though, Morris pleaded guilty Monday and was sent to prison.
The boys thus far have tested negative for the virus that can lead to AIDS, but they are tested every six months and likely will have to be for some time.
When released from prison, Morris will have to register with authorities as a sex offender for 25 years. She already has given up custody of her child.
