Dublin: An Ohio woman is accused of raping her 10-month-old son, videotaping it and sending it to her boyfriend in Michigan.

Ashley N Jessup, 24, was indicted in Columbus on Thursday on two counts of rape, one count of child endangerment and one count of pandering sexually-oriented material involving a minor.

Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O`Brien says the rape charge could land her life in prison.
