Misty Roberts, 44, a former mayor in Louisiana, is sentenced to 90 days in jail after being convicted of felonies involving a 16-year-old boy, according to multiple outlets. The cases stem from allegations that Roberts had sex with her teenage son’s friend during a birthday party at a home in March, where prosecutors said alcohol was involved. Roberts faced up to 17 years in prison if convicted. Earlier this year, she was found guilty at a retrial of two felony counts: “carnal knowledge of a juvenile,” which is described as statutory rape, and “indecent behavior with a juvenile.” She arrives at court in custody for sentencing. Fox News reports the incident involved her son’s 16-year-old friend and characterizes the party as a drunken birthday gathering, while The Guardian and other reporting focus on the felony convictions and the resulting 90-day sentence. The outlets consistently report the same prison term and the same two felony convictions.
