[Previous 3/27/09 post]
(Joplin, Missouri) A 45-year-old former supervisor at a teen substance-abuse residential center, Jana E. Carter, has been accused of engaging in sex with two teen boys.

Associate Circuit Judge Stephen Carlton has ordered Carter to stand trial on two counts of second-degree statutory rape and two counts of second-

degree statutory sodomy.
The charges pertain to two boys who were roommates in October 2008 at the Scott Greening Dependency

Center home at 818 W. Fourth St. At the time, the boys were 16 and 14.

The boys testified Thursday that Carter performed oral sex acts on them and had sexual intercourse with them in their room at bedtime.

The older boy told the court that he was living in the home when Carter first began working there. He said she exposed her breasts to him on several

occasions in various rooms in the house, including the kitchen and dining room. The sexual contact took place in the boys’ room at bedtime, he said.
Trial start is tentatively scheduled for April 20.
