Woman Sentenced For Ending Daughter's Pregnancy
MIRAMAR, Fla. -- A South Florida mother who ended her teenage daughter's pregnancy and dumped the fetus in the garbage will spend three years under house arrest.
A Broward County judge sentenced 39-year-old Tonuya Rainey on Friday. Rainey pleaded guilty to five felony and two misdemeanor charges, including unlawful termination of pregnancy, practicing medicine without a license, child abuse and unlawful disposal of fetal remains.
She had faced up to 26 years in prison.
Authorities say Rainey admitted giving her daughter drugs from a Miami clinic to end the pregnancy.
The daughter told police she gave birth in March 2009 over a toilet. Rainey later said she placed the fetus in a bag and dumped the body in the garbage.
