A 20-year-old day care worker from Staten Island was arrested early Wednesday morning for allegedly having sex with a 13-year-old boy in the Prince’s Bay area. The Post reports that Megan Donovan allegedly had intercourse with the victim on Tuesday night and the pair exchanged a slew of risqué text messages with each other after the incident occurred. And we've had a look at her Facebook page, which suggests she was a bit risqué on social media.
After the alleged incident, the boy bragged to his friends about his romp in the hay with Donovan, and for some reason decided to share the information with his mother. Outraged, the victim’s mother called the NYPD, who promptly arrested Donovan at her Prince’s Bay home around 3 a.m. and charged her with statutory rape, sex abuse and endangering the welfare of a child. The Staten Island DA’s office and the NYPD press office would not provide any further information on the scandal. And an acquaintance of the suspect also refused to comment—but did acknowledge the distastefulness of Donovan’s alleged actions.
On Tuesday night, Donovan updated her Facebook status to say, "that's why you always wear a condom, a dick goes in and a dick comes out’ lmao," and an hour later posted, "Wastin time, steady tryna get you back, get you back in my life. ☺"
Her Facebook also says that she is a Republican whose interests include "Drinking." She also mentions her penchant for Disney movies, which makes us think this 13-year-old was probably a little old for her.
