The woman pleaded guilty to using abortion pills to end her pregnancy and disposing of the foetus.
Celeste Burgess, 19, was sentenced to 90 days in prison.A US teenager was sentenced to 90 days in jail after taking abortion pills to end her pregnancy and disposing of the foetus with her mother's help.
Her mother, Jessica Burgess, 42, faces up to five years in prison for helping her daughter and violating Nebraska's abortion law.Police opened the investigation into the mother and daughter in June 2022, before the Supreme Court overturned the nationwide right to abortion and left it to states to determine whether or how to allow the procedure.
Court documents alleged Celeste Burgess was around 28 weeks pregnant when she consumed the abortion pills, making the procedure illegal as per Nebraska law. In May, Burgess pleaded guilty to a felony charge of removing or concealing human skeletal remains. Two other misdemeanour charges against her - concealing the death of another person and false reporting - were dropped. In addition to serving three months in jail, she faces two years of probation.
