Louisiana mayor’s kids caught her with teen boy at drunk pool party: cops

The scandal involving Misty Roberts, the former mayor of DeRidder, Louisiana, took a shocking turn when her children revealed to the authorities that they had caught their mother engaging in inappropriate behavior with a 16-year-old boy at a pool party. The incident, which occurred in 2024, led to Roberts facing a charge of third-degree rape.

During the trial, Roberts’ son recounted how he witnessed his mother and the teenager in a compromising position through a window at the party. However, he later admitted that he was unsure of what exactly he saw that night. The jury also examined pictures from the event, including one that prosecutors described as “lewd” showing Roberts in a bikini with the victim.

Roberts’ daughter also testified, stating that she saw her mother and the boy “on top of each other” that evening. Additionally, the former mayor’s nephew confessed to trying to capture the incident on his phone but was unsure if he had recorded anything.

Text messages presented in court revealed the son expressing disbelief at the situation to his mother and confirming the boy’s age as 16. Roberts’ daughter also mentioned seeing the inappropriate behavior between her mother and the teenager.

Following the incident, Roberts received a text from the victim’s mother inquiring about pregnancy, to which Roberts assured she was on birth control. She later shared this message with her friends, who advised her to take emergency contraception, which was delivered to her house by a DoorDash driver.

In the aftermath of the investigation, Roberts resigned as mayor of DeRidder, a city with a population of around 10,000 residents. She was subsequently charged with third-degree rape and contributing to the delinquency of minors.

The case highlights the serious nature of the allegations against Misty Roberts and the impact it has had on her personal and professional life. The trial continues to unfold, shedding light on the disturbing events that transpired at the pool party in 2024.
