GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) _ A Tennessee woman has been sentenced to

10 years in prison for flying to North Dakota to have sex with a

15-year-old boy.

Cynthia Kusy, of Knoxville, Tenn., was sentenced on convictions

for sexually assaulting a minor and luring a minor over the

Internet. She'll be on supervised probation for five years after her prison

term.

Authorities say Kusy met the boy while playing an online

computer game, and in April 2011 flew to Grand Forks and rented a

motel room, where she gave the boy beer and had sex with him over

three days. A week later she drove to Grand Forks, picked up the

boy and took him to Knoxville without telling his mother.

Kusy is married and has a teenage son.
