Woman turns in son on sex case

DALTON, Ga. – Police in Dalton say a woman turned in her own son on claims he had sex with an underage girl. That man is now charged with a sex offense.

According to the Rome News-Tribune, a police report states 20-year-old Terrance Turner, his mother and a sibling were staying with another family in the North Georgia city.

The report said Turner’s mother called police to report her son had sex with a juvenile girl living at the house. The newspaper didn’t identify the mother by name.

Turner is charged with child molestation, solicitation and sexual battery against a child younger than 16.

In the police report, Turner said he laid down beside the girl to cuddle, telling an officer: “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”
