APPLETON (AP) - Authorities say a 20-year-old Hortonville woman accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy who fathered her baby is pregnant again by the same boy.

Lacy Sommers faces new charges of repeated sexual assault of a child and bail jumping involving contact with the boy, now 14, who lives in New London.

She was charged last October with repeated sexual assault of a child and later gave birth to a son. She is scheduled for trial in August on an amended charge of third-degree sexual assault.

She's been held since her arrest May 1 and is quoted as saying she's pregnant by the boy again.

Records show Sommers told investigators after the first arrest "she knows it is illegal for her to have sex with (the boy) however, she loves him."

A preliminary hearing on the new charges is Monday.
