(Beverly, Massachusetts) A 34-year-old former teen counselor at the Anchorage group home for adolescent boys, Emma Miles, has been accused of repeatedly engaging in sex with a 15-year-old boy living at the home. The sexual episodes allegedly occurred from November 2005 until June 2006. Arraignment in Salem Superior Court awaits scheduling.
The boy's mother alerted police after intercepting cell phone messages from Miles to the teen. According to the cell phone messages, Miles apparently became concerned that the boy's mother knew of the relationship.
"Does she know who I am?" she allegedly asks in one message. In another: "U need to tell me exactly what U told her." The messages continued throughout the month of July. "When did she find out?" "Did you admit to anything?" "Is she going to call the police?"It seems Miles was quite aware of her wrongdoing.
She allegedly told the boy in one message: "You didn't do anything wrong, I did."
She also directed the boy to delete all of the messages she had sent him, as well as her phone number. "I need to know if U are gonna delete everything," she wrote. In another message: "Please tell me what's happening. I'm scared, please call me back."
An Essex County grand jury indicted Miles on three counts of child rape, each of which carries a possible penalty of life in prison upon conviction.
In other legal proceedings for the same alleged sexual relationship, Miles previously appeared in Salem District Court and pleaded not guilty before Judge Richard Mori. She was released on her own recognizance with the condition that she not contact the boy.
