A Texas woman has been arrested for allegedly having sex with her teenage nephew "hundreds of times" while the young teen lived with the 43-year-old woman and her husband, according to the Daily Mail. Her nephew alleges that Peggy Phillips started the sexual abuse in 2007 and it continued until 2008. Now that her nephew is 22 years old, he is stepping forward.
The first encounter allegedly occurred when the then-15-year-old victim was in the hospital, and he said Phillips crawled into the hospital bed with him and touched him inappropriately. The abuse continued over the next two years in which the pair had sex "hundreds of times" inside the house Phillips shared with her husband.
The victim had moved during the summer of 2008 to live with his aunt and uncle, according to My San Antonio, moving from what the uncle refers to as a "bad situation" in South Carolina, to the Phillips' Houston suburb home in Texas.
Phillips was arrested and charged with sexual assault of a child, the Harris County District Attorney's Office said, according to San Antonio Sun Times She is currently held on a $30,000 bond.
Phillips and her husband have since divorced.
