Corrections Worker Tagged for Sex with Boy

(Phoenix, Arizona) A 28-year-old youth corrections officer at the state-run Adobe Mountain School, Lori Ann Somerville, was arrested and charged last month for engaging in a sexual relationship with a teen boy at the school.

According to a newly released warrant document:

The school is considered a "secure care facility" where boys convicted of crimes are sent to be rehabilitated, according to the state Department of Juvenile Corrections. The document says the boy is older than 15, but it did not give a specific age.

Investigators first learned of the relationship when the teen's parole officer found letters Sommerville had written to the boy in which she described herself as "Your Wife," according to the document.

Upon questioning, the teen told investigators the relationship was consensual and that Sommerville, who worked as a youth corrections officer, had performed oral sex on him, the document shows.

It also shows the physical contact took place inside an office at the school.

Somerville was fired from her position with the school.
