Female student, 20, charged with rape after relationship with 14-year-old boy
A 20-year-old woman has been charged with rape for allegedly having sex with a 14-year-old boy in North Carolina, after the teenager’s mother reported their relationship.
Taylor Ashton Moseley, a student at East Carolina University, met the boy while working at a bar in Surf City in the Bible belt state, when a friend introduced them. Their relationship is said to have taken place in May, according to state police.
The 20-year-old student was charged with indecent liberties with a child, statutory rape and a statutory sex offence with a child after the boy’s mother reported the pair as being in a relationship, as the Independent reports.
Moseley is being held in Pender County Jail awaiting trial with bail set at $225,000. This is not the first case in the US of women being charged for having sex with underage boys. Earlier this year, a 25-year-old, also from North Carolina, was charged with having unlawful sex with three of her teenage pupils.
