A Louisiana mayor, who abruptly took a leave of absence before resigning last week, is accused of raping a minor during her time in office.
Former DeRidder Mayor Misty Roberts was charged with third-degree rape and contributing to the delinquency of juveniles, Louisiana State Police announced on Thursday.
An investigation into the 42-year-old mayor, who was in her second term, was opened on July 26, after the Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office requested the state police look into a complaint against Roberts.
“As the investigation progressed, LSP SVU conducted interviews with two juveniles, one of which was the victim. Both juveniles confirmed Roberts had sexual intercourse with one juvenile victim while employed as Mayor,” a statement read.
A warrant for Roberts’ arrest was issued on Wednesday before she surrendered herself to the police.
Roberts was booked into Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office Jail at 10:13 a.m. and released 77 minutes later on a $75,000 bond, jail records show.
Roberts’ attorney called his client innocent while calling out law enforcement for not talking with the former mayor before her arrest.
“It is my honor to represent Misty Roberts. My client learned late last night of a warrant, despite not being contacted to be interviewed prior to investigators obtaining the warrant,” Adam Johnson said, according to KPLC. “My client maintains her innocence and, as it stands, she is in fact innocent.”

Cray. Dem eyes be cray.
If her body matches her face... Not Guilty!
She must be a REPUBLICAN because she’s not UGLY or BLACK.
Crazy eyes.
She must be a REPUBLICAN because she’s not UGLY or BLACK.
She must be a democrat because her political party wasn’t prominently mentioned.
Its probably not a good idea to be talking about love and passion in a resignation letter when you are resigning for having sex with a child.
*She must be a REPUBLICAN because she’s not UGLY or BLACK.*
If only Trump could blurt it out.
Ann-You are an original!
I am not sure what the age of consent should be, but 18 is probably too high. Maybe 16, I am not sure. But I know if I was a 16 year old boy, it wouldn’t be rape to me if I had sex with a grown woman.
If you found yourself in her position, especially if you were innocent, you would have “crazy” eyes too.
Play Misty for her.
For once, a politician that takes constituent services seriously,
Age 42. That’s when women are most attractive and horny-It’s their turn, So why can’t we wish them well and thereby ‘encourage’ them to just start with 18 year-olds? Marathon-time. The amorous period starts in their mid-30’s so by keeping her weight down she’ll get the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
‘Misty was awarded the 2014 SWLA Business Women’s Network Up and Coming Business Women of the Year...’
I can see how she would win that.
Typical slut. Our society is rampant with them.
*Typical slut. Our society is rampant with them.*
Unfair. A slut will do it with anyone BUT YOU.
You win for best post.
