Oregon mom accused of having sex with 14-year-old boy she met on Snapchat
An Oregon woman was arrested last week for allegedly having sex with a 14-year-old boy who attended the same school as her daughter after she connected with him on Snapchat, a report said.
Rheta Leanne Melvin, 36, was busted at her home in the town of Riddle on Thursday — a day after she allegedly had sex with the teen in the backseat of her car, KTVL reported, citing a police report.
Melvin first reached out to the boy last Tuesday on the social media app. The two then exchanged sexually explicit images, the boy told police.
Following the alleged sexual encounter, the boy told police Melvin pressed him via Snapchat to meet up again, but he refused.
The teen’s mother then found out and called police.
Melvin allegedly admitted to police to “sexting” a young boy she thought was “either 17 or 18,” the report said.
She also copped to sending nude photos and videos, but denied having sex with the 14-year-old.
Melvin was hit with a number of charges, including rape, sodomy and sexual abuse.
