Circuit Court Judge Royce Taylor denied requests for acquittal and a new trial by a woman serving 40 years in prison for raping her oldest son when he was a child.

Angela Montgomery, most recently of Portland, Ore., was convicted in 2015 of forcing her son, who is formerly from Murfreesboro, to have sex with her multiple times during visitations from 1999 to 2003 at her former South Kings Highway home.

She was convicted on six counts of child rape and was sentenced to four decades in prison. Judge Taylor broke the six counts into two sets of three with each at 20 years to be served consecutively at 100 percent.

During a sentencing hearing, the son testified he wanted Montgomery to be put away so she can't sexually abuse any other children.

The son said the sexual abuse started when he was very young, but as far as the court case was concerned it took place when he was 9 to 13. He said he witnessed his mother also sexually abuse his younger sister and brother, in addition to nursing young children she kept even when she wasn't producing milk.

WGNS was told that Montgomery did not actually face the current allegations until 2012 when she was arrested in Portland, Oregon and transported back to Murfreesboro where the charges were filed.

WGNS learned the investigation took Murfreesboro Detective Wayne Lawson about 8-months to uncover. Again, Montgomery was found guilty on six counts of child rape. She will be sentenced May 6, 2015.
