Roberts resigned as DeRidder’s mayor one day after authorities began investigating a complaint that she had raped a minor. Her resignation letter omitted any mention of that investigation.

She later made $75,000 bail to await her trial from out of custody.

Misty Roberts in 2018 made history by becoming the first woman ever elected as mayor of DeRidder. She won a second four-year term in 2022.

'So no protection? Are you on birth control, have you had tubal, hysterectomy??', the boy's mother asked, according to the papers.

'Birth control. But, it also didn't reach that point in those few minutes to have that concern. I understand the concern, but I can assure you of that', Roberts allegedly said.
