A black woman is in custody, accused of going to extreme measures to protect her son from sexual assault charges

Cynthia Greenwood took her 12-year-old adoptive daughter to get an abortion because the father was her biological son. Cynthia Greenwood stood quiet as a judge read the 50-year-old woman her rights. She is accused of interfering in a rape investigation involving her 12-year-old adopted special needs daughter by getting her an abortion after she got pregnant. Greenwood's biological son, Isaac Greenwood - who was 18 at the time - is said to be the father. He's been charged with three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child. Prosecutors say that on October 22, 2010, Greenwood took her adopted daughter to a woman's health clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, to have an abortion. She was 22 weeks pregnant at the time. Mom and daughter made the trip to Ohio after Children's Protective Services had already initiated its investigation into the rape allegation. According to court documents, two months after the abortion, the 12-year-old special needs child said in a videotaped interview that she got pregnant because her brother had sex with her, and that her mother took her to Ohio to have an operation so it wouldn't hurt when the baby came out. The victim is now 13 and is in foster care along with her 12-year-old sister. Cynthia Greenwood is charged with tampering and fabricating evidence. Isaac Greenwood was charged with three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
