LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - A Crete woman accused of threatening to out her son’s ex-girlfriend’s family to ICE in order to get charges against him dropped was arrested on Tuesday.

In May, 53-year-old Veronica Adame’s teenage son was arrested and charged with assault by strangulation and first-degree sexual assault.

According to court documents, the son’s on-again, off-again girlfriend wanted to end things with the teen but was allegedly physically and sexually assaulted by him after bringing it up.

Court documents show Adame made calls to her son while he was at the Lancaster County Adult Detention Center.

On Aug. 26, Adame asked her son for the girl’s phone number so that she could call and threaten her by saying she would call ICE on her and her family, the arrest affidavit alleges.
