Disgraced La. mayor Misty Roberts found guilty of having sex with son’s 16-year-old best friend at booze-fueled party

A disgraced small-town Louisiana mayor has been found guilty of having sex with her son’s 16-year-old best friend at a booze-filled pool party, according to reports.

The jury at Misty Roberts’s trial reached a guilty verdict after deliberating for less than an hour, according to Upper Michigan Source.

Roberts, the 43-year-old former leader of DeRidder, La., was convicted on charges of carnal knowledge of a juvenile and indecent behavior with a juvenile, the outlet reported.

The conviction comes after the boy she allegedly had sex with at the 2024 party testified in front of jurors that he was drunk when the sex crime unfolded, the outlet said.

Roberts will have to register as a sex offender. Her sentencing is scheduled for April 17.
