Ex-prosecutor jailed in teen sex case

Story tools:

NEW CITY (AP) — A former prosecutor was sentenced Wednesday to two years in prison for having sex with underage boys, but her most severe punishment may have been the humiliating tirade delivered by her 16-year-old daughter.

Beth Modica, 44, wept as her daughter Danielle told the judge that she was banging on the bathroom door at their home in Sloatsburg one day last year as her mother and Danielle’s boyfriend were engaging in oral sex. “We were competing for the same 15-year-old boy,” Danielle said.

Modica told her children to lie to their father — the Spring Valley police chief — about the marijuana and alcohol she gave to them and their friends. They were changed forever by their mother’s “constant lying and the things she did around me and my brothers,” Danielle said.
