Misty Roberts, a former Louisiana mayor who recently resigned, was arrested on Thursday on charges of third-degree rape and contributing to the delinquency of juveniles.

The arrest follows an investigation by the Louisiana State Police’s Special Victims Unit after the Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office received a complaint alleging Roberts had sexual relations with a minor while in office.

Two minors were interviewed, with one confirming the allegations. Roberts, who maintains her innocence, turned herself in and was released on a $75,000 bond, CBS News has reported.

She had initially announced a temporary leave from her position but resigned the next day. Roberts, who served as DeRidder’s mayor and previously as the city’s director of community service, was arrested and released within a few hours.

DeRidder is a small city located about 50 miles north of Lake Charles, Louisiana.
