NEW YORK - A Brooklyn woman was sentenced this week to 16 years in prison connection with the death of her newborn son.

Tiona Rodriguez pleaded guilty to manslaughter charges last month.

Back on October 17, 2013, security guards at a Victoria's Secret in Midtown found the body of a baby boy inside Rodriguez's bag.

He was born the day before.

The baby was discovered after guards who suspected her of stealing items noticed a foul odor.

Rodriguez was 17 years old when authorities say she gave birth in a friend’s bathroom.

The baby's death was ruled a homicide by asphyxiation.
