RACINE — A Burlington woman who was sentenced to 13 years for sexually assaulting a 12-year-old boy has been ordered to pay restitution, according to online records.

Kerry Hughes, who is 41, accepted a plea offer in April and pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree child sexual assault.

The prosecution and defense stipulated to nearly $6,000 in restitution for mileage and loss of wages, and the court ordered $2,299.36 in restitution for medical expenses, according to court records.

According to previous Journal Times reporting, Hughes communicated with the boy through text messages from August to November 2023. The relationship reportedly escalated to include sexual contact.

After serving her sentence, Hughes will be placed on extended supervision for five years. She also must register as a lifetime sex offender.
