Texas Mom Accused of Sex with Boy

(Williamson County, Texas) A 41-year-old mother-of-two, Phill Raije Rain, is currently on trial in Williamson County’s 26th District Court on three counts of sexual assault. Rain is accused of engaging in sex with a 17-year-old neighborhood boy who mowed her lawn and babysat.

The alleged relationship began in the summer of 2006 when the boy says he fell in love with the middle-aged mom. Rain's children called the boy "Dad" and he liked it. The 17-year-old, however, doesn't seem to have the clearest of memories.

The teenager's testimony about the three alleged assaults contradict the indictment in the case. According to the boy, there were several weeks between the events, while the indictment names specific dates that are within days of each other.

The seventeen year old also put the places where the events happened in a different order than how he described them to sheriff's detectives in September of last year. All three times, the teenager says, the two were in the back of Rain's van or SUV. He says she performed oral sex on him. He estimated the oral sex lasted between fifteen minutes to half an hour.

It's not clear how the boy's cluttered remembrances will affect the case. However, if the boy's recollections are even close to correct, it appears that Rain is quite attentive.
