A 15-year-old Deltona boy told investigators that he drank alcohol and had sex twice with a 23-year-old woman for two days while his family couldn't find him, an arrest report states.
The teen said he spent his time away in an apartment with 23-year-old Jessica Belue, her 5-year-old son and a 31-year-old man, the report states.
Belue is charged with lewd lascivious battery sexual activity with a person under the age of 16. She was being held Friday at the Volusia County Branch Jail on $5,000 bail.
The boy's mother, whose name is not being published so that the teen's identity is not revealed, called police when her child took off with Belue on July 7. She also called deputies to her Deltona residence after the teen was brought back because Belue had sent him nude pictures of herself on his cellphone, police said.

A great teen summer movie!
Neck tattoos on chicks make me think they’re classy...
Neck tattoo. Yep, central Florida alright...
You need to read the entire story. Very weird, even for Florida.
The mother of the 15 year old sounds like a real peach, too. And a 31 year old man involved? And a 5 year old in the same bedroom?
I guess after having sex with a 15-year old boy (refractory period between intercourse likely measured in microseconds), she really DID feel like a New Woman!
The hetero age of consent has bounced around, usually bottoming out around puberty. Gay marriage, however, has never been part of the historical experience.
Now, attempts to balance child protection and teenage freedoms are seeing those clear lines blur. Instead of a single answer to the question, “How young is too young?” many countries are shifting to a “patchwork system of rules and exceptions”, says Kaye Wellings, a sexual-health researcher at London University. How serious an offence is, or even whether one has been committed, can depend on the age gap between the parties, as well as more subjective factors such as emotional maturity and the evidence of harm done.
German prosecutors consider whether a 15-year-old was capable of “sexual self-determination” when deciding whether to prosecute a sexual partner. In 2003 England created a lesser offence for sex between a 16- to 18-year-old and an under-16-year-old—and barred anyone charged with sex with someone aged under 13 from pleading mitigation. “Romeo and Juliet” laws in several American states exempt close-in-age couplings from prosecution. (Shakespeare’s Juliet was around 13, Romeo probably older.)
One reason for the shift is an acknowledgment that adults’ rules have limited influence on what teenagers get up to in private. Surveys show that a quarter of teenagers in Britain, for example, are sexually active below its threshold of 16. But strict laws when the age gap is wide, or the child very young, make prosecuting hardened child-abusers easier—as highlighted by the recent convictions in Britain of several celebrities for under-age sex in the 1970s and 1980s.
The new approach is in the spirit of 19th-century campaigns, says Stephen Robertson, an American academic who studies the history of sex and the courts, in seeking to protect the young from abuse and to limit predation rather than fornication. In 1887, as part of a drive to have rape treated more seriously, America’s Christian Temperance Union cited the “frightful indignities to which even little girls are subject”. Many states raised their thresholds from ten to 14 or 15. Around the same time, London’s Pall Mall Gazette detailed the lives of child prostitutes and greedy procuresses in a series billed as “abominable, unutterable, and worse than fables yet have feigned, or fear conceived”. England’s age of consent went from 13 to 16 as a result.
Ma’am, can I mow your lawn?
Mrs Robinson?
Does she have a Panama City license plate?
No, this was about a 15-year-old who had an affair with a 23-year-old married woman during WW2 - while her husband was fighting the war.
The one line in the story I could understand completely.
Don’t know. Why?
Well her husband was killed and she just need someone to comfort her.
It actually made sense in the movie.
It would go with the neck tattoo.
You do know what a Panama City license plate is?
Very informative. Thanks.
The teen boy said he had sex with Belue because he was intoxicated and she “manipulated” him, the report states.

Sure kid, we believe you. I always hated it when I was “manipulated” in my teen years.
