ELKO - A Twin Falls woman faces up to life in prison after a jury found her guilty Friday of lewdness with a child under 14.

The jury deliberated for about three and a half hours before they found Michelle Taylor, 34, guilty. Taylor lived in Jackpot at the time of the February 2008 crime.

Taylor was tried in Mike Memeo's district courtroom. On the first day of the trial her attorney, Deputy Public Defender Alina Kilpatrick, told the judge Taylor had not been offered a plea deal in the case.

In the second day of the four-day trial, the victim told jurors how when he went to her house to play video games, she asked him to sit on her bed, sat on him, pushed him back, kissed his face, forced him to touch her breast and asked him to have sex with her.

He told jurors he told her "no" and that he wanted to wait until he was older.

Jurors found Taylor not guilty of an indecent exposure charge.

Taylor claimed she was intoxicated and does not remember what happened that night. She told jurors she roughhoused with the boy but did not force him to touch her inappropriately.

In closing arguments Friday, Deputy District Attorney Chad Thompson told jurors to consider Taylor's behavior the next day, saying text messages sent to the victim's mother was a way of checking to see if she got caught and her responses were ways of trying to get out of trouble.

Kilpatrick responded by telling jurors "there is no right way to respond to false accusations of sexual abuse, which is what happened." Saying Taylor responded to the accusations with "dignity," she told jurors the victim was the one who was caught in the act.

Taylor's mother, Cynthia Duncan, testified she walked into Taylor's room and saw her daughter asleep with the victim on top of her. She said he jumped off when she walked in the room.

A "13-year-old confused teenager got caught in the act and ran all the way home," she said.

Thompson told jurors if the victim had actually done what Duncan said he did, he would not have said anything to his mother, not made up a story.

"The question is who got caught ... the defendant got caught, ladies and gentlemen," Thompson said.
