Former DeRidder Mayor Arrested on Rape Charges

News summary

Misty Clanton Roberts, the former mayor of DeRidder, Louisiana, was arrested on charges of third-degree rape and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile shortly after her sudden resignation. The arrest stems from allegations that Roberts had sexual relations with a minor during her tenure as mayor. Louisiana State Police confirmed that the investigation was initiated after two minors reported the incident, and both confirmed the wrongdoing. Roberts, who made history in 2018 as DeRidder's first female mayor, maintains her innocence through her attorney, Adam Johnson. She was released on a $75,000 bond following her arrest. The community remains in shock as the investigation continues.
