wenty-eight-year-old mother of 2, Carrie L. Dana, was convicted of felony counts of rape, indecent assault of a child younger than age 13, and a misdemeanor count of corruption of minors. She was acquitted of two felony counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse.

Prosecutors alleged Dana repeatedly had sex with the 11 years old boy between March and August 2007 in Dana's residence in the 2400 block of State Street. The defense is claiming that Dana did not assault the boy, or, if she did, that she did so under duress. The victim was a neighbor of Dana's and a friend of her son, according to the complaint filed by Erie County Detective Jon Reddinger.

Dana has a history of mental-health treatment, according to court records. She was living in a residence run by Stairways Behavioral Health when two theft cases against her were prosecuted in 1998, according to the records.

The boy told jurors Thursday that Dana was a neighbor who helped care for his seriously ill parents. He enjoyed visiting Dana's home and watching movies with her children, he said. Dana made sexual advances toward him the first night he spent the night at her home, he said. He said they had sex almost "every day" until August, when he turned 12.

The victim said Dana ended the relationship because she believed others were suspicious and she started to think she could get caught.
