Constituent services, indeed.
I always feel bad for their kids in these scenarios.
A former Louisiana mayor who resigned from office just days ago was arrested on Thursday on accusations she had sex with a minor, police said.
Misty Roberts, 42, was booked into the Beauregard Parish Detention Center on the charges of third degree rape and contributing to the delinquency of juveniles, Louisiana State Police said in a news release Thursday.
Police said that on Friday, the Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office requested the state police's Special Victim's Unit investigate a complaint against Roberts for allegations of sexual relations with a juvenile.

Investigators interviewed two minors, one of whom was the alleged victim, police said, and both "confirmed Roberts had sexual intercourse with one juvenile victim while employed as Mayor," police said.

Roberts' attorney, Robert Johnson, released a statement, saying his client is innocent, WAFB-TV reported.
"My client learned late last night of a warrant, despite not being contacted to be interviewed prior to investigators obtaining the warrant," Johnson said. "My client maintains her innocence and, as it stands, she is in fact innocent. She has not been charged with a crime and/or convicted of any crime."
