SPOTSYLVANIA - Authorities have charged a 29-year-old county woman
with raping a 12-year-old boy after the woman's ex-boyfriend found her with
the child in her car in a secluded area.
The Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office reported that the suspect, Deanna
L., contacted police Jan. 8 to report that she had been raped by a former
boyfriend.
But the investigation alleged otherwise. Deanna L. was alleged to have picked up
the 12-year-old boy from his home and driven him to a secluded site less than
a mile away late Thursday night, said Capt. Patricia Sullins, sheriff's
spokeswoman.
She said after the boy left the car, the woman had sex with the
ex-boyfriend in an effort to dissuade him from telling police about the
incident with the child.
The child and the former boyfriend reported the alleged assault to the
child's mother, police said.
