NKY woman in rape case bragged about taking young boy’s virginity: Court docs
Authorities say the woman befriended the 12-year-old and his friends, among whom the alleged rapes were common knowledge.
KENTON COUNTY, Ky. (WXIX) - An 18-year-old Northern Kentucky woman is accused of raping a 12-year-old boy multiple times.
Police arrested Morgan Roberts, of Bromley, last week on charges of sodomy, rape and sexual abuse.
“His mother found a text message on her young son’s phone indicating that someone had taken his virginity,” Kenton County Prosecutor Rob Sanders said. “The mother was obviously concerned.”
Sanders says Roberts met the boy through his group of friends, all of whom are close to the boy’s age. Authorities aren’t sure how she met them originally.
The rapes happened where Roberts was living in Bromley and also once at the boy’s home, Sanders explains.
“Female defendant sex offense cases are far more rare than male defendants,” he said.
Sanders says people need to take this case seriously.
“It’s just as illegal for a female to be doing this with a 12-year-old male as it would be with a 12-year-old female or, for that matter, an 18-year-old male,” he said. “Everyone is held to the same standards under the law.”
Ludlow, Ky. police said the boy's mother contacted them after finding a text on her son's phone that read, "I took your V card and you liked it".
Police talked to the boy who said the sexual abuse happened once at his house, once at Roberts' house and once at a friend's house in Ludlow
The boy was able to describe Roberts in ways that were only possible if he'd seen her without clothes.
Ludlow Police Detective Jason Compton interviewed the alleged victim, who “said he had three sexual encounters with Roberts,” according to the affidavit supporting the arrest warrant in the case.
“The first took place at [the boy’s] residence in Ludlow,” the court document notes. “[The boy] states Roberts touched his penis with her hands, performed oral sex on him, and had intercourse with him. The second encounter took place at Roberts’ residence in Bromley.”
In the criminal complaint, the second and third alleged sexual encounters between the defendant and her alleged victim are described in substantially similar terms to the first alleged encounter.
“We take sex crimes very seriously, especially those against children,” Commonwealth’s Attorney for the 16th Judicial Circuit Rob Sanders told Law&Crime in an email. “The fact that this defendant is female makes the case somewhat unusual, but no less serious.
Police additionally claim the boy who was allegedly raped by Roberts “was able to describe physical features of Roberts which would not be readily visible unless he had seen her without clothes.”
Roberts was assessed a $10,000 bond in late September by a Kenton County Court judge. She is currently out on bail
