A Florida nurse who was stripped of her medical license after allegedly being caught by her husband having sex with her 15-year-old stepson has been sentenced to two years in prison, according to Court TV.

Alexis Von Yates was ordered to serve 24 months in state prison, which will be followed by two years of community control and 10 years of probation as a registered sex offender, after Florida Fifth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Timothy McCourt agreed to a plea deal with her legal team on a "significantly reduced" sentence. The former nurse was originally charged with sexual battery by a person in familial authority, which was lessened to a lewd and lascivious battery on a child between the ages of 12 and 16, which she pleaded no contest to, according to court records.

Von Yates will also be required to complete 200 hours of community service and pay fines and court fees as part of her sentencing. The prior sexual battery charge was considered a first-degree felony and could've carried a life sentence and $10,000 fine.

Last month, prosecutors said the plea deal was supported by the teenager's family in order to avoid "reliving" the ordeal, having feared it would disrupt his ongoing mental health treatment. Von Yates had her single-state nursing license revoked one week after her arrest earlier this year, according to a statement shared by the Florida Department of Health.

“Nurses are placed in a position of trust,” the order states. “Therefore, it is imperative that they demonstrate good judgment and good moral character. Ms. Yates’ decision to engage in sexual activity with a minor child and/or her decision to engage in oral and penetrative sex indicates that she lacks the good judgment and moral character necessary to be a registered nurse."

The alleged incident occurred while the boy was visiting his father in Ocala, Florida, for summer vacation last summer. Von Yates allegedly put her two children to bed and hung out with the 15-year-old on the night of July 26, 2024.

The two were reported to have used a THC vape, played video games and watched movies while his father worked late as a lineman, according to a Marion County arrest affidavit. Von Yates allegedly put on the horror movie Terrorizer 2 at around 1:00 a.m., at which point she told the minor that the movie was boring and that she was "horny" because “she had not had sex in two weeks and she was on her period,” the 15-year-old told police.

The two were reported to have initially cuddled before the teenager kissed Von Yates on the neck and they proceeded to make out, at which point she allegedly acknowledged told him, "I wish you were 18, because you're not old enough," according to the affidavit. Von Yates then "kicked off" her panties, at which point the two had oral sex and intercourse without a condom, according to police.

The father returned to the home and found his wife and son completely naked on the couch. The teenager said he ran out of the house but allegedly heard Von Yates explain to her husband that he looked like his father when he was younger, according to the affidavit.

The father then drove his son to his grandparents' house, claiming the boy had "ruined his life," while drinking a beer during the drive, according to the affidavit. Von Yates allegedly engaged in several acts of seduction and flirtation with the boy prior to the incident taking place and contacted him the following day, claiming she wished they kept having sex and hadn't been discovered.

Von Yates was arrested in November when a concerned family member contacted police after the boy's father opted not to, according to Ocala News.
