A North Carolina woman already facing allegations that she killed her 5-month-old son is now being charged with crimes against nature.

In October, Elyssa Anne Kucharski, 27, was charged with one count each of murder, child abuse, and concealing or failing to report a death, according to Wilson County court records reviewed by Law&Crime. At the same time, her boyfriend, Taylor Dale Lucas, 33, was charged with two counts of accessory to murder after the fact, and one count of concealing or failing to report a death.

This week, Kucharski was charged with six counts of crimes against nature, court records show. The vague Tar Heel State statute is a felony offense criminalizing unspecified crimes against “mankind or beast.” All appellate case law suggests that it the charge is typically filed as an “add on” in other sex crimes cases for almost anything other than procreational heterosexual sex, according to University of North Carolina criminal law scholar Prof. Jessica Smith.
