Woman Jailed for Rape, Incest

(Nashville, Tennessee) A 29-year-old robust trailer momma, Tonya McLaughlin, was arrested by U.S. Marshals yesterday for sex crimes involving two boys, ages 13 and 16. McLaughlin has been charged with multiple counts of rape, aggravated rape and incest. The basis for the incest charge was not reported. Ostensibly, one of the boys was a close relative.

Although McLaughlin was wanted by the Montgomery County Sheriff's office, it's not clear why the U.S. Marshal Service was involved. U.S. Marshals typically oversee federal prisoners and chase fugitives. As described, McLaughlin's alleged crimes likely come under state jurisdiction which would make her arrest a local responsibility, not a federal one.

Nevertheless, McLaughlin presently cools her heels in the Montgomery County Jail with bond set at $250,000.
