Roberts resigned as DeRidder’s mayor one day after authorities began investigating a complaint that she had raped a minor. Her resignation letter omitted any mention of that investigation.

She later made $75,000 bail to await her trial from out of custody.

Misty Roberts in 2018 made history by becoming the first woman ever elected as mayor of DeRidder. She won a second four-year term in 2022.

Oh my god I'm the same age cohort as this woman, the thought of voluntarily spending time with 16 year old boys not related to me is fucking gross. We are grandparent age, you sick woman!

It is when you start having kids in high school. My aunt became a grandmother at 36. If she'd lived longer she would have been a great grandmother in her 50s.
