BSA Troop Leader Accused of Sex with Scout

(O'Fallon, Illinois) A 39-year-old Boy Scout troop leader, Wendy Rogers, was caught Sunday allegedly engaging in sex with a Boy Scout. Rogers faces a charge of criminal sexual assault.

According to the St. Clair County Sheriff, the parents, who'd been shopping, returned to their home between O'Fallon and Lebanon, Illinois around 3 p.m. only to discover their son, a minor, in flagrante delicto with Wendy Rogers, leader of Troop 35.

Recognizing the O'Fallon woman immediately, the parents blocked the door so Rogers couldn't escape, then called 911 dispatchers, to whom they reported a "rape in progress."

The act was not technically "consensual," says Captain Steve Johnson of the sheriff's office, because the boy was a minor. He adds, however, that "it wasn't a situation where physical force was being used against the young man."

Rogers was booked into custody at the St. Clair County Jail with bond set at $100,000.
