A 35-year-old woman from Salem, Sarah Beth Hopkins, has been slammed with multiple charges of rape and sodomy after the parents of a 12-year-old teenager filed a complaint against her.
The heinous incident came to light after the young boy confessed having been sexually abused by neighbor Sarah for the past eight-months.
When Hopkins was confronted, she confessed her crime. The family lives at the same apartment complex as Hopkins.
The mother of the young boy smelled rat after she noticed growing closeness between the two. When interrogated, the boy gave away.
Marion County Sheriff's Office spokesman Don Thomson said: 'The boy confirmed that he, in fact, had been involved in this relationship with this 35-year-old woman.
Police, however, feels that the young boy isn't the sole victim here.
'We're kind of asking anyone with a male child who may have had contact with Mrs Hopkins, befriended by her, lived near her or whatever, we’d like them to sit down with their son and talk. Make sure everything’s okay.'
When questioned by the deputy, Hopkins admitted but said she hadn't abused him or threatened him to keep silent.
“Hopkins' Facebook page includes many suggestive photos of herself, and some along with young boys, along with links to a few different teen websites,” reveals a source.
Marion County Circuit Judge Donald Abar rehas accounted her for three counts of rape in the first degree, seven counts of rape in the second degree, two counts of sodomy in the first degree and eight counts of sodomy in the second degree.
Her bail has been set at $1million.
