Alejandra "Alex" Rivas was indicted by a grand jury on two felony counts of sexual conduct with a minor and two felony counts of forgery. Rivas has also been identified as an illegal alien so she is being held without bond in the Maricopa County Jail because of her immigration status.

Maricopa County sheriff's detective Aaron Douglas said Rivas admitted to having sex with the 15-year-old boy on at least one occasion.

Nine boys stayed at the Youth Enlightenment home at the time of the encounter, and court records show other boys witnessed the sex act and also saw the woman masturbating.

Youth Enlightenment operates one home for boys in the East Valley and another home for girls.

Court records show that Rivas lives in Chandler with her children, and neighbors said she has five children.

Illegal alien with five children and she's in jail, charged with child sex crimes. Freaking wonderful!
