Louisiana Woman Jailed for Sex with Boy

(Sibley, Louisiana) A 21-year-old local woman, Charnequa Meich Benton, was arrested this week for allegedly engaging in sex with a 16-year-old boy.

Benton has been charged with aggravated battery, domestic abuse battery and carnal knowledge of a juvenile.

Investigators learned about the alleged abuse after responding to a call for assistance earlier in the week at Benton’s home in the Southwood Apartments in Sibley. Authorities learned that Benton assaulted the juvenile boy by throwing a knife at him and biting him on the upper arm during an argument, the release states.

No serious injuries resulted from the battery.

It was during a follow-up interview that Benton “admitted to officers that she had taken the juvenile in to live with her several weeks prior and had held an ongoing sexual relationship with him during that time.”

Benton was booked into custody at the Webster Parish Jail.
