[Sugar Cookie]

Misty Roberts Clanton, 42, who resigned as DeRidder mayor last week, is accused of having sex with a juvenile.

Roberts was arrested by Louisiana State Police on counts of third-degree rape and contributing to the delinquency of juveniles.

Sgt. Ross Brennan, a state police spokesman, said the alleged juvenile victim and another juvenile confirmed to state police’s Special Victims Unit that Roberts had sex with the juvenile.

The arrest follows a tumultuous week in DeRidder. After saying she would be away from the office for two weeks and appointing a mayor pro tem on Friday, July 26, she resigned on Saturday, July 27.

Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit says it conducted interviews with two juveniles, one of which was the victim, both of whom told detectives that Roberts had sexual intercourse with the victim while Roberts was mayor.

Now that she is in some extremely serious legal trouble due to allegedly raping a juvenile, I'm glad that the town of DeRidder is getting De-Rid of Her!
