A Brevard County woman was found guilty Friday of locking up a Titusville boy and starving him.
The jury found Sharon Glass guilty of aggravated child abuse and false imprisonment. She faces up to 120 years in prison.
Glass, 48, and the boy’s father Michael Marshall, 38, were charged in 2012 with aggravated child abuse, plus a charge of aggravated child neglect. When Titusville Police found the 12-year-old, he weighed 40 pounds.
On Thursday, Glass told jurors that she blamed Marshall, her boyfriend, for the extreme abuse.
"And he was telling me what he did, and I said 'you can't do this, you can't do this. You can't do these things,'" Glass testified.
In cross-examination, Glass said she never actually saw the boy in the closet, or tried to talk to him, and that Marshall always kept the door shut.
"I didn't engage in any discipline but I knew some things that were going on," she said.
Prosecutors once again showed pictures of the bathroom door, the doorknob turned to the outside and a chain used to keep it shut.
They were also shown pictures of the boy's bunk bed. The couple is accused of zip tying him to for several hours as punishment.
Marshall also faces similar charges.
The pair were arrested in March 2012, accused with locking the boy in a cage within a closet or bathroom for days or weeks at a time. During that time, the child was given little or no food and became dehydrated and malnourished.
Earlier in the week the victim, now 14 years old, testified about the abuse. He blamed both his father and Glass for being locked up and fed very little.
The victim told investigators he never attended school for those several months while he was locked up.
He is now living with his grandmother.
