Woman pleads guilty to raping teenage boy
POTSDAM, N.Y. -- A California woman has pleaded guilty to raping a Potsdam boy.

Kathryn Brauch, 22, entered the plea Monday morning in St. Lawrence County Court. Brauch met the 13-year-old boy online and flew from California last summer to visit him.

In exchange for her plead, she'll get three years in prison with three years of supervised release when she gets out. She'll also have to register with the sex offender database.

The boy's mother, Maria Conklin Matthie, was also convicted and sentenced in the case. She pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child and was sentenced to a month in prison for allowing Brauch to stay at her home and have sex with her son.
