Misty Roberts, 43, faces sentences of up to 10 and seven years in prison after July 2024 sexual assault at pool party
The former mayor of a Louisiana city has been convicted of raping a 16-year-old boy during a party at her house while she was still in office.
Misty Roberts, 43, faces sentences of up to 10 and seven years in prison after a jury in the municipality of DeRidder on Tuesday found her guilty of two felonies: carnal knowledge of a juvenile – or statutory rape – as well as indecent behavior with a minor.
In October, in an unrelated case, her 40-year-old brother, Brandon Lee Roberts, pleaded guilty to raping two people: an underage girl and a young woman. He subsequently received a 42-year prison sentence.
Can someone confirm or deny, with a reliable source either way, whether she’s a Republican?
(I fully expect her to be one but don’t want to assume.)
Probably not, or the title would have been “Mayor had consensual sex with underage man”
She was identified as independent in her profile from what I can tell. I’d be surprised if she wasn’t really Republican by most standards as a small town mayor so close to Kansas. Her LinkedIn profile has her following the Koch Holding Company also. I don’t know, I don’t think she effectively accomplished anything in her stint in mayor enough to say she wasn’t an independent. End of the day I guess it doesn’t really matter, I was actually surprised her LinkedIn is still out there like nothings happened.
