ALAMANCE COUNTY, N.C. — A 44-year-old woman is facing obstructing justice charge in connection to the sexual assault of her child in Alamance County.
According to the Alamance County Sheriff's Office, Christy Jeannine Danese violated pre-trial release conditions from charges related to the sexual assault of her child in November 2022. She was given a pre-trial release on Dec. 15, 2022.

When the child told Danese about the abuse, she failed to report it, according to the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office.
King is charged with a felony statutory sex offense with a child by an adult and felony indecent liberties with a child. His bond is set at $300,000.
Danese is charged with felony child abuse-sexual acts, misdemeanor failure to report a crime against the juvenile, and felony obstructing justice.
