The Florida nurse accused of raping her teenage stepson has separated from the boy’s father, RadarOnline.com can report.

Alexis Von Yates, who is currently serving two years in prison after pleading guilty to lesser charges, attempted to justify her actions by noting how “similar to his father” the 15-year-old looked.

Von Yates was arrested after her husband walked in on her and the teen engaging in sexual activity last year. She and David Yates have been married since 2017 and share two biological children. Prior to the incident, pictures of the once-happy couple populated David’s social media, chronicling their relationship.

Everything changed last July when David’s son from a previous relationship visited his father and stepmother for summer vacation.

According to police, Von Yates had been flirting with and trying to seduce her stepson for weeks before their sexual encounter, often telling the teen she was “horny.” One night, while a movie played in the background, Yates reportedly said she was bored and told the boy how “horny” she was because “she had not had sex in two weeks and she was on her period.”

The victim recalled in the arrest affidavit that the two started cuddling. The interaction escalated to kissing her neck and then making out.

Von Yates allegedly told the teen, “I wish you were 18, because you’re not old enough,” as they cuddled, according to the affidavit. She then “kicked off” her panties, and the pair engaged in oral sex and intercourse without a condom.

When the boy’s father came home from work early, he reportedly found them naked on the couch having sex. Shocked, he began throwing things at the two, shouting, “What the f— is going on?”

Yates reportedly begged for forgiveness and tried to reason that the naked underage victim “looked like his father when he was younger.”

### Pleading to a Lesser Charge

Von Yates was originally charged with “sexual battery on a person 12 to 18 years of age by a person in familial custody,” but she pleaded no contest to the lesser charge of lewd and lascivious battery.

Last month, she was sentenced to two years in the Department of Corrections, followed by two years of community control and 10 years of sex offender probation.

The teenage victim, who is still undergoing therapy, has reportedly spoken to his father only once in the past year.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the teen’s family pushed for the plea deal to spare him from having to return to Florida to testify, fearing it would disrupt the progress he has made in his ongoing mental health treatment.

### The Boy’s Mother Speaks Out

The victim’s biological mother had strong words during Von Yates’ sentencing, slamming her as a “coward” and expressing how deeply the ordeal affected her.

“I am angry, I am hurt, at times it makes me physically ill. But I, like (my son), will rise above,” she said. “Despite all of the trauma inflicted upon him, he still has a beautiful life to look forward to. A life full of love, hope, and endless possibilities.”

She then addressed Von Yates directly: “As for you, Alexis, you have shown absolutely no remorse or accountability for your despicable actions.”

The mother added, “You systemically manipulated, groomed, and sexually abused a child. Through your actions and through your conduct since, you have proven to be a coward.”

She concluded, “There is nowhere you can go to escape the truth. For the rest of your life, the world will see you for exactly what you are – an incestuous pedophile who will forever only be remembered for what she took from a child.”
