Roberts resigned as DeRidder’s mayor one day after authorities began investigating a complaint that she had raped a minor. Her resignation letter omitted any mention of that investigation.
She later made $75,000 bail to await her trial from out of custody.
Misty Roberts in 2018 made history by becoming the first woman ever elected as mayor of DeRidder. She won a second four-year term in 2022.
‘So no protection? Are you on birth control, have you had tubal, hysterectomy??’, the boy’s mother asked, according to the papers.
‘Birth control. But, it also didn’t reach that point in those few minutes to have that concern. I understand the concern, but I can assure you of that’, Roberts allegedly said.
I’m impressed it was actually called rape in the headline.
She doesn’t identify as a republican so they can call it what it is.
I’d just like to point out that they used the correct term “rape” here. All to often news outlets will say something like “sex” or “affair” or some how blame the victim.
Kudos for calling a spade a spade.
It is wild cuz even Margerie Taylor Greens broken ass clock is right more often than the media
In October, in an unrelated case, her 40-year-old brother, Brandon Lee Roberts, pleaded guilty to raping two people: an underage girl and a young woman. He subsequently received a 42-year prison sentence.
Nice family.
Definitely gives the impression of one of those “abused becomes the abuser” situations.
I never thought about what they are up to but seeing the canfor logo there might be something I need to look into
