"As the investigation progressed, LSP SVU conducted interviews with two juveniles, one of which was the victim. Both juveniles confirmed Roberts had s*xual intercourse with one juvenile victim while employed as Mayor," a statement read.
The former mayor was charged with third-degree r*pe.
She was arrested and released on a $75,000 bond.
