Police: Katy woman had sex with neighbor boy
Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle
A Katy woman is behind bars today after investigators accused her of engaging in a sexual relationship with her teenage neighbor, Harris County Sheriff's Department officials said.
Dina Marie Blakley, also known as Joan Davis, 37, was charged Monday with aggravated sexual assault of a child. She is being held at the Harris County Jail with bail set at $30,000.
The victim, now 15, told a relative early last month about the alleged abuse, which started when he was 11 and ended at 13, officials said.
The relative told the victim's mother, who then reported the incident to authorities - who launched an investigation.
Blakley and the victim's mother had been friends in the past, Harris County Sheriff's deputies said.
"They used to take turns babysitting each other's children,'' Sheriff's Sgt. Dana Wolfe said. "That's when she (Blakley) would take advantage of the situation and have relations with him.''
The youth reported the abuse allegation after Blakley told him that he was the father of her 18-month-old child, authorities said.
"He felt pressured by the overwhelming responsibility of being a father,'' Wolfe said. "That's what made him go to the family member.''
Blakley was arrested Wednesday and transferred to the Harris County Jail early today. A DNA test has been ordered to determine whether the victim is the father, authorities said.
