Overview

• Judge Maureen Sweeney imposed the sentence after Adrianne Hudson pleaded guilty on Aug. 15 to involuntary manslaughter and endangering children.
• One-year-old Londyn Cayson drowned on Sept. 29, 2023 at a Ridgelawn Avenue home where Hudson was babysitting outdoors near a pool.
• Prosecutors asked for an 8- to 12-year term and called the drowning preventable, while the defense sought less based on Hudson’s lack of record and expressions of remorse.
• Family members gave emotional statements in a packed courtroom, with the child’s mother accusing Hudson of failing to protect her daughter.
• Detectives said the toddler wandered away, and an earlier misdemeanor charge against Hudson’s boyfriend was dismissed in municipal court.
