A Nebraska mom has been convicted of sexually abusing friends of her 11-year-old daughter during sleepovers where she plied them with alcohol and pot gummies.
Christina M. Greer groomed two of the boys, ages 12 and 13, into having sex with her, a Sarpy County jury determined on Wednesday.
Greer, 38, was found guilty of three counts of first-degree sexual assault of a child, six counts of felony child abuse and two counts of witness tampering, after an eight-day trial.
She was found not guilty of two other counts, the Sarpy County attorney’s office said in a news release. Those charges were for one count of sexual assault of a child and another count of child enticement by electronic communication.

Sentencing is scheduled for April 19 and she faces a mandatory sentence of at least 45 years, with the possibility of a life sentence.
Prosecutors said the incidents occurred between September 2017 and February 2018 at her home.
In 2019, Greer’s daughter testified tearfully that her mother would take her to Walmart to buy strawberry and watermelon margarita mix and would pour the children drinks, the Omaha World-Herald reported.
‘She said we shouldn’t tell anybody because she’d get in trouble and lose her kids,’ the girl testified.
Children would then play drinking games and eat marijuana-infused gummy bears with her mom.

Prosecutors asked the girl if she ever got drunk, and she said: ‘Every time.’
At the time, Greer’s bail had been set at a whopping $1.5 million.
‘Children who were at the sleepover testified that they observed the defendant and one boy kissing,’ prosecutors said in the release.

Greer had told the kids not to tell anyone about the abuse and to delete evidence from their phones.
