Louisiana mayor Misty Roberts is standing trial on a charge of third-degree rape following allegations that she sexually assaulted a 16-year-old at a pool party, according to court testimony and media reports.
Misty Roberts, a 43-year-old mayor in Louisiana, is on trial for third-degree rape over allegations that she sexually assaulted a 16-year-old during a pool party, according to court proceedings and media reports. The case has drawn significant attention following testimony that the alleged incident was witnessed by her own children and other teenagers present at the gathering.
According to reports, after learning of the alleged assault, the victim’s mother texted the then-mayor to confirm that she was not pregnant. It was further alleged in court that Roberts took a screenshot of the messages and shared them in a group chat with friends before ordering emergency contraception through a delivery service. Testimony also indicated that Roberts’ son initially told investigators he saw his mother engaging in sexual activity with his friend before later changing his account. Roberts’ ex-husband reportedly told the court that she admitted to him that she had sexual relations with the teenager.
Citing courtroom details, the New York Post reported: “A photo seen by the jury showed Roberts at the party in her bikini, with the teen victim looking up at her and smiling.” The report further stated: “The victim’s friend said Roberts’ daughter told a group of teens that night she saw her mom and the minor making out by the pool. He said he later he saw Roberts and the boy having s*x.” The trial is ongoing, and the allegations remain subject to judicial determination.
