A 20-year-old Connecticut babysitter has been charged with sexual assault after allegedly having sex with a 14-year-old boy. Loni Bouchard was booked on July 12 after an investigation that lasted three months, for second degree sexual assault, risk of injury to a minor, and illegal purchase of liquor, ABC reports. Police believe that Bouchard plied the boy with alcohol. Bouchard was charged a second time with sexual assault on July 29 in another incident with a teenage boy, but it's unclear if it was the same child.
"It's the way these laws were written to keep positions of authority from taking advantage of younger people," a Sergeant from the Clinton Police Department tells the news outfit. But Bouchard's attorney claims that "she needs rehab and not a jail sentence." Just yesterday a 33-year-old NYC teacher was accused of raping her 16-year old student, and back in March a 20-year-old Staten Island day care worker was accused of having sex with a 13-year-old boy.
