Misty Roberts, the former mayor of DeRidder, Louisiana, has come under fire after allegedly sending a barrage of panicked text messages in the wake of being caught in a locked room with her son’s 16-year-old friend during a drunken pool party at her home.
According to a criminal complaint, the 43-year-old is accused of taking advantage of the teenager in 2024. The encounter, prosecutors say, was partially captured by her son in a photograph.
He later told police he watched through a crack in a window as the pair had intimacy.
