A Louisiana mayor was arrested earlier this week just a week after resigning out of the blue and stands accused of r*ping a minor child.
The Louisiana State Police announced on Thursday that they arrested 42-year-old former DeRidder Mayor Misty Roberts after she turned herself in to authorities. She was subsequently charged with third-degree r*pe and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s office urged the Louisiana State Police Special Victim’s Unit on July 26 to investigate Roberts for allegedly sexually assaulting a juvenile. Two juveniles told authorities that Roberts did have sex with a minor, which led them to issue an arrest warrant.
