MESA, Ariz. (KSAZ) - A woman has been arrested after telling police she beat a 16-year-old teen after finding him in bed with her teenage daughter inside her Mesa home on Thanksgiving.
According to court documents, Jeanette Woods found the boy in her 16-year-old daughter's bed after the two had consensual sex. The two teens had fallen asleep when the boy says he awoke to Woods yelling at him and punching him in the face just after 1 a.m.
The boy says Woods was straddling him and repeatedly punching him in the face and body. The boy eventually broke free, but Woods chased him out of the house and down the neighborhood street, while continuing to punch him.
This continued attack by Woods caused the boy to vomit. Woods then stopped the attack, but told the boy that she was "going to get her cousins to take care of him." The teen left his belongings inside the home and left his car parked outside the home near Sossaman and Broadway.
Woods told police she grabbed a baseball bat and caused over $5,000 damage to the teen's car. She then took his keys and moved the car away from her home and down the street.
Police responded to the home after a neighbor reported a suspicious vehicle. Police learned the teen's mother was the registered owner of the vehicle and that her son had taken the car.
Jeanette Woods has been charged with criminal damage, assault and unlawful means of transportation

“it is refreshing to read of someone enraged over their daughter’s loss of chastity.”
The perfect little angel probably lost that chastity (sch)long before this particular occurrence.
This is true, the law won’t hold her harmless in a civil suit here.
“What about the $5000 in damages to the car? She should have to pay to have it fixed.”
Nope. Just a cost of doing business.
Age of consent is 18 in Arizona, but there is a legal defense against prosecution in this scenario:
It is a defense to a prosecution pursuant to section 13-1405 if the victim is fifteen, sixteen or seventeen years of age, the defendant is under nineteen years of age or attending high school and is no more than twenty-four months older than the victim and the conduct is consensual.
In flagrante delecto............Not guilty...............
Yep, and there is a good chance the insurance company will sue to recoup their loss.
Juvenile delinquency would apply but that’s a different law and the penalties are small.
Anyhow there seems to be no real hero or heroine here. Holding the lad at gunpoint for police would be a legal thing but it looks like it wasn’t even dreamed of here. Society still enforces other norms even if not sexual ones any more.
Until you go to actual statutes
Thanks for the info.
Except she only attacked the boy. That tells me she thinks her daughter is innocent of the crime.
It sounds like some baby momma gone wild.
16 year old with a 16 year old having consensual sex isn’t going to be considered statutory rape in any state.
Arizona, like many others, basically give a pass to consensual sex between minors within 2 years of each other’s age.

Most have an exception clause for damage incurred while “committing a crime” or similar verbiage. Doesn’t mean, though, there is no valid civil suit. In order to minimize fuss, mama will probably end up consenting in court to reimburse for it in exchange for everyone’s hands getting slapped and nobody going to jail.
That’s right. She raped him as well.
As the mother, attacking only one party?
I chased one of my then teenage daughter’s boyfriends away from the house with an iron bar once...................He called the cops............he said it was a baseball bat..............I told the cops I didn’t own a baseball bat................one of the cops looked behind the door, for some reason, didn’t see anything and said have a nice day and they left.................
She beat him with her daughter?
Time’s Woman of the Year.
this woman is crazy and needs to do serious time. It may feel good to some but just as Obozo’s violation of the law is repugnant, so is hers. BTW, What of her daughter? This was described as consensual sex. Did she beat the other “guilty” party?
