Judge Orders Five-Year Prison Sentence in Baby's Death
An Olathe woman whose newborn daughter's body was found two years ago in a trash bin is sentenced to five years in prison.
In imposing the sentence Thursday, District Judge Thomas Bornholdt stuck to an agreement reached earlier when Aubrey Owen, 22, pleaded no contest to reckless second-degree murder.
Owen said she become pregnant after being "taken advantage of sexually'' at a fraternity house at Kansas State University.
She said she gave birth in October 2003 at her home in Olathe after concealing the pregnancy from her family and friends. She said she decided to dispose of the baby because she believed the girl was stillborn.
