Misty Roberts, 43, faces sentences of up to 10 and seven years in prison after July 2024 sexual assault at pool party
The former mayor of a Louisiana city has been convicted of raping a 16-year-old boy during a party at her house while she was still in office.
Misty Roberts, 43, faces sentences of up to 10 and seven years in prison after a jury in the municipality of DeRidder on Tuesday found her guilty of two felonies: carnal knowledge of a juvenile – or statutory rape – as well as indecent behavior with a minor.
In October, in an unrelated case, her 40-year-old brother, Brandon Lee Roberts, pleaded guilty to raping two people: an underage girl and a young woman. He subsequently received a 42-year prison sentence.
Interesting how in this case it’s clearly called “raped a boy” and not “had sex with an underage man”.
I mean, it’s much more often called “a romp” or “an affair” when it’s a female predator and a young male victim. Usually the r word is reserved for female victims. Hell, one of the experts who did a bunch of the foundational work in studying SA in an interview about a decade ago balked at the idea that men could be victims of women at all.
Epstein’s friends get softened language because they’re rich and powerful. Women usually get softened language by default. I wonder what made her so awful for this to be reported as a “rape” and not a “romp”?
It’s interesting that you concluded with “this must be an exceptionally violent case” and not “culture is shifting enough that explicitly calling these cases ‘rape’ is becoming more acceptable.” Like, we’re in the middle of a moment where sexual violence against minors is, y’know, a big topic. Even if the past ten years hasn’t been huge in the proliferation on sexual violence education, the ruling class pedo ring thing is pretty fresh.

Cynicism. Well founded cynicism. Though if this is the beginning of a trend and not a one-off I’ll be happy to see it.
What do you mean, “well founded?” Did you read this article before writing that? Are you telling me you read a lot about sexual violence and rape culture? That’d be pretty nice to see on here, could you point me toward any articles that have done discourse analyses on the representation of sexual violence and young men?
Or you meant “well founded,” as in, like, its what you see so it makes sense?

Still no drag queens or trans people.
Close enough to zero for this statement not to be misleading.
Throw away the key these genetics are defective.

GOP = Government of Putin or Government of Pedos. Take your pick or both.

I was going to joke how it’s “all in the family” but this goes to show how the law treats female offenders different than their male counterparts. In much of the western/anglophone world, we’ve come to associate sex abuse with men engaging in sexually predatory behavior; little thought is given about women committing sexual offenses since many are (sadly) the victim of such offenses. We’ve also come to see unbalanced age dynamics (younger man-older woman) as something of a rite of passage for men. If a guy loses his virginity with an older woman, he “scored” or got “lucky.” If the roles were gender-swapped, it would rightly be considered assault but the assailant would receive a much higher sentence than the woman.
We have stop treating sexual assault as one-sided.
The sentences are very different (7-10 years to 42 years), but to be fair, the crimes are also different.
1 time might be a “mistake”, 2 times is a trend. Also, I don’t know the specifics. I know children are not legally able to consent to sex with an adult, but I would punish harder in the case that the child doesn’t even “consent” to it. Maybe the boy “consented” and the girl didn’t. Also, I assume the “young woman” is an adult, so she definitely didn’t consent.
Disclaimer: Put on a tinfoil hat.
The only reason this is all over the news is unfortunately not because it’s a despicable crime. Which it is.
However. The story is that: She turned herself in. They were intoxicated by alcohol. She’s hot for 40 year old. She’s “independent, blablabla. both sides”.
No, no, no!
The media is showing this because they want to normalize rape.
There’s something a lot worse that never make the news.
Maybe it’s the drug epidemic, causing this shit to happen on daily basis in the southern states. Maybe it’s people of importance who don’t turn themselves in. Maybe it’s not the alcohol or libido at all.Maybe it’s the …
Maybe it’s in the Epstein files.
10 and 7 years
Who wrote this shit, Abraham Lincoln?
Two charges. Two sentences. Be surprised if she gets even 5 years in actual prison.

Two counts. This is correct English.
it’s the correct way to phrase it in context
I vaguely remember a thread where people from from different countries, and different places places in some countries, explained how it’s not uncommon to phrase things this way, or in a similar way.
Bad AI, I reckon.
Can someone confirm or deny, with a reliable source either way, whether she’s a Republican?
(I fully expect her to be one but don’t want to assume.)
She was identified as independent in her profile from what I can tell. I’d be surprised if she wasn’t really Republican by most standards as a small town mayor so close to Kansas. Her LinkedIn profile has her following the Koch Holding Company also. I don’t know, I don’t think she effectively accomplished anything in her stint in mayor enough to say she wasn’t an independent. End of the day I guess it doesn’t really matter, I was actually surprised her LinkedIn is still out there like nothings happened.
Probably not, or the title would have been “Mayor had consensual sex with underage man”
Wow, her whole family is so presidential
Poll numbers probably got a bump with the base.
Now do the president.
She probably wouldn’t, he’s too old for her.
More like she’s too old for him.
She’d never get the chance. She’s 43, which is about 38 years too old.
Settle down now, shorsey
“Your mom shoots so much cum around my room I gotta put wood chips on the ground like I’ve got fuckin’ guinea pigs.”
“she has so many sex toys I call her Anal Fissure Price”
(she would like to) Give yer balls a tug (assuming you’re under the age of consent)
Got to wait till he’s Weinstein-ripe. More bruises and in a wheelchair and frail enough to get compassion from the jury.
The DeRidder Diddler
She rapes a 16yr old boy. Her brother rapes an underage girl. They’re both underage, both are pedophelia, yet the boy gets reported differently than the girl.
Brother and sister are both rapists, that’s fucked up family there. Wonder how many dad and mom have raped.
His conviction was for repeated assaults of multiple victims over the course of several years, one victim was 13 when it started. Hers was for a single assault of a single victim.
I would legitimately wonder whether both of them were sexually assaulted as children. This sort of thing doesn’t typically manifest from nothing
Got confused by the headline cause 16 would be legal where I am and certainly doesn’t strike me instinctively as “rape”.
That being said, bangin a kid in high school when you’re in your 40s is uncomfy
Well you’re not alone in having that mindset.
And unfortunately that is why rape continues to be a massive issue today. It’s one of the biggest social evil plaguing the human race. Rape islands, sex trafficking, the Epstein files, the AI child porn factories, forced birth returning to America etc, all the same.
Well you’re not alone in having that mindset.
Well, a lot of countries do not have this “18 years is the definitive line” ruleset. Which is made to not criminalize sex between e.g. 19 and 17 years old, which is also kind of ridiculous. OTOH it easily leads to the situation where 40 years and 16 years is also legal (in Germany e.g. when there’s no power dynamic between the parties - so 40 yo teacher and his pupil - nono; “random encounter” legal as long as there’s consent). But then again how would the law be written to make it better, like some crazy formula to check for?!
In America, where most states the age of consent is 18, there are also laws that carve out exceptions if both parties are close in age. So a 19 year old is allowed have sex with a 17 year old, but a 45 year old isn’t.
America might have a white trash problem.

No, you fucking idiot. I’m talking about white supremacy.

They also didn’t put genocide in their post. Chill out.
They said ‘white problem’
Correct. Glad that we are on the same page.
Yes. Because it didn’t fit well in the “cross out” ftfy type of meme response I was doing.
That’s why I made it clear by explicitly writing it for you in my reply. You jumping to “white genocide” says a lot more about you than me. America has a long history of white supremacy and none of “white genocide”.
The “white problem” someone, withany understanding of American history, should assume is the problem with white supremacy; that the country has had since its literally inception.
