Vero Beach woman accused of having sex with 11-year-old boy

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — A 45-year-old Vero Beach woman accused of having a sexual relationship with a boy since he was 8 years old was arrested Tuesday and held without bond at the Indian River County Jail. Elizabeth Filsell, 45, was arrested about 4:30 a.m. and charged with two counts of capital sexual battery on a child.

Sheriff's detectives started to investigate Filsell on Monday evening after a man reported the boy, now age 14, was attempting to pull swimsuits off of other children while swimming in a pool earlier in the day, according to the arrest affidavit. The man's daughter, who was supervising the children ages 5 to 11, also said the boy's "inappropriate behavior" continued when he made sexual comments to the other children, the affidavit stated.

Troubled by the alleged incident and insinuations the boy made about having sex with Filsell, the man called the state Department of Children and Family Services, which later contacted the Sheriff's Office.

During their investigation and interviews, detectives reported the boy told them "on numerous occasions" that he had sexual contact with Filsell, the affidavit stated.

Initial reports indicate Filsell, a housekeeper for a local hotel, eventually admitted to having sexual contact with boy since he was 8 years old, according to the affidavit.

Detectives allege the contact increased throughout the years and reported she had sex with him when he was 11. An acquaintance of Filsell even told deputies about an "unusual incident" he noticed earlier in the week when Filsell and the boy were in bed together, the affidavit stated.

Sheriff's Capt. Mike Dean said detectives worked throughout the night to investigate the incident.

"She (Filsell) made some incriminating statements that led to the probable cause arrest," said Dean. "It wasn't one single acts, but multiple acts leading to multiple counts. The child is now in a safe environment."

Anna Pullens, who did housekeeping with Filsell for several years, said she never noticed any type of inappropriate behavior while at work. Hotel managers echoed Pullens' remarks.

"She was a really nice person to work with," said Pullens. Filsell is scheduled to have her first appearance in court today.

SInce we all trust the news, we can plainly see it is the truth!!

Actually, based on reporting, it seems the feminist dream has been realized, women feel comfortable acting like sexual scumbags to at least the same degree as men. I think female molesters are more drama for the media, hence may be reported more. However, as man-hating as the media is, you would think they would be all over any man behaving badly.

Guess she won't get off as the other " too pretty" ones were able to get off on.
Somewhere out there, there is justice.

Nah, I think they used a rake.
All kidding aside. This woman will probably get the max. But in the same token the women that were attractive got the minimum.
There is something wrong with these laws.
Gee, I thought the law in the US was fair. They should all be treated the same just as they treat men that abuse children.

The only way I'd hit that is with my truck.

Besides being just twisted, sick and nasty, what could an 8 year old (or an 11 year old, for matter) POSSIBLY have to offer sexually?

It really saddens me as a parent to read these ignorant comments on how you might hit that if you were drunk, high, whatever. She's not a prostitute, she's a child molester. Have you taken into consideration the effect that she has had on this child's life? Why are you even making comments so irrelevent to the situation. Maybe you should try another web site. I know this child and maybe if you knew the situation, you would grow up and leave your ignorant comments on a less sensitive issue.

Seems like, after looking at that picture, that gravity takes sides.
