Misty Roberts, a former mayor in Louisiana, has been sentenced to 90 days for raping a 16-year-old boy.
On Tuesday, 44-year-old Roberts was sentenced following her conviction earlier this year of two felonies including carnal knowledge of a juvenile – or statutory rape – and indecent behavior with a juvenile.
Roberts, who was facing up to 17 years in prison, sexually assaulted the underage victim at her home in July 2024.
Roberts was mayor of DeRidder, Louisiana, at the time, a position she had held since 2018.
The outlet added that Roberts also received two five-year suspended sentences, to be served concurrently unless she violates parole.

She added that she would find her son sitting in his room alone and would hear him cry at night. »
