Roberts resigned as DeRidder’s mayor one day after authorities began investigating a complaint that she had raped a minor. Her resignation letter omitted any mention of that investigation.

She later made $75,000 bail to await her trial from out of custody.

Misty Roberts in 2018 made history by becoming the first woman ever elected as mayor of DeRidder. She won a second four-year term in 2022.

    Her kids (maybe just her son) and her nephew caught her and started fighting with her about what she was doing and she still continued.

      Every detail is crazier than the last.

      Her ex-husband testified that she asked him

      “to call the victim’s family on her behalf to gauge their reaction. He said he did so.”

      How did that go? “Hey so I heard my wife fucked your son, huh? How you feeling?”

            One was a minor too. As mentioned elsewhere in this post, I have a feeling there was some abuse happening to the two as kids.

          I saw that!!

          The door dash driver was like “I heard about the teenager thing and I was like… oooh.” And I think it said they recognized the house from Halloween or something.

          And then the son still saying essentially “it sure looked like sex to me” during testimony. Holy crap, it’s wild
