A 29-year-old woman was arrested last month after the Baker County Sheriff’s Office investigated a report that she was found in a shower with a 15-year-old boy.
The Baker County woman was charged with lewd and lascivious act on a child and booked into the Baker County jail.
According to the police report, the woman allegedly knocked on the door of a house and the homeowner agreed to let her take a shower, and told her to lock up when she left because he was going to sleep. The man claims he woke up about 90 minutes later when he heard noises and two voices coming from the bathroom.
When the father of the teen confronted her, the woman allegedly said nothing sexual went on while they took a shower. After he told her to leave, his son told him that she performed oral sex on him, Baker County deputies said.
The report goes on to say that the woman apparently admitted to investigators she went to the home while she was drunk and the 15-year-old boy came into the bathroom and kissed her while she was naked.
The woman said she pushed the boy away after he kissed her and denied performing oral sex on him.
