HOUSTON – A mom and her son are facing charges in connection with the sexual assault of her 12-year-old adopted daughter.
According to investigators, 19-year-old Isaac Greenwood impregnated his 12-year-old sister, who is mentally disabled.
His mother, 50-year-old Cynthia Greenwood, then took the girl to Ohio to have an abortion, investigators said.
Isaac Greenwood is charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child.
Cynthia Greenwood is charged with evidence tampering.
According to court documents, Cynthia Greenwood took the girl to have an abortion in Houston in early October of 2010, but the procedure wasn’t performed because the girl was too hysterical.
At that point, CPS officials in Texas launched an investigation, but said Cynthia Greenwood would not provide any information as to how her daughter got pregnant.
A few weeks later, a second report was filed with CPS after the girl had an abortion at a clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.
When investigators interviewed the girl, she initially said she didn’t know who’d gotten her pregnant.
But, according to court documents, the girl later told investigators that her brother had assaulted her four or five times.
Investigators believe Cynthia Greenwood took her daughter to Ohio to have the abortion so CPS investigators in Texas could not have access to the fetus for evidence.
Charges against the mother and son were filed on Friday. Both Cynthia and Isaac Greenwood were out on bond Monday.
