Woman Accused of Sex with Three Boys

(Corbin, Kentucky) A 41-year-old married woman, Barbara Ann Bailiff, is in jail waiting to face charges of rape and sodomy resulting from accusations that she had sex and performed oral sex on three boys, ages 8, 14, and 16.

Television reporter Melinda Roeder interviewed Bailiff in jail for Action News 36. Here's a portion of the transcript.

Melinda is live with more on what Bailiff said.

It's a story you'll see only on Action News 36.

Bailiff was arrested this week after police talked with the juveniles' parents.

They claim she either had oral sex or intercourse with three boys ages 16,14 and 8.

And Bailiff admits some of those accusations are true.

"It was all of us at the house getting drunk and it just happened you know."

It was saturday night. Barbara Ann Bailiiff says she and the three boys were all drinking beer at her house, which is right across the street from a school.

She says they all got drunk.

"I started to tell them all to leave, but then I didn't and it got wilder and wilder."

She admits she had sex with the two teenage boys.

"Do you think there's anything wrong with that? No, because we were just all drunk and getting wild and everything. And the boys were willing? The boys were willing, yeah."

Bailiff says the 8-year-old boy watched, but was never involved in any sexual act.

I had no contact with the 8-year-old boy whatsoever."

Bailiff insists she did nothing wrong and didn't intentionally break the law.

But now....

"Do you regret it? Yeah."

Bailiff says she was drunk and had between six and eight beers.

She also claims she's schizophrenic.

Her husband, by the way, was out of town last weekend when the alleged incident happened. [sic all]

Thanks for the report, Melinda. This case appears to be one of the more egregious examples of child sex crimes. Interestingly, Corbin, Kentucky, is the location in which 18-year-old Ashley Hubbard was arrested last July for allegedly raping and sodomizing two 12-year-old boys. It's unknown how the Hubbard case has transpired. I've seen no followup reports. Nevertheless, Corbin, Kentucky, seems to be cursed in at least this one regard.

One question. Has anyone else noticed the apparent trend toward blaming mental illness as the reason women are molesting youngsters? Bailiff claims she's schizophrenic. Debra Lafave said she's bipolar. Donna Sue Lopus is reportedly bipolar. There are likely a few others also.
