NC Woman Arrested for Rape of Boy

(Elizabeth City, North Carolina) A 30-year-old local woman, Christina Lee Shipp, was accused of sex crimes committed against a 15-year-old boy so she fled to South Carolina to avoid prosecution.

The alleged incidents with the boy took place at a private home last spring. The incident was reported on May 4th and Shipp fled to South Carolina after a warrant was obtained for her arrest.

Shipp was extradited to North Carolina last week and was subsequently booked into custody at the Albemarle District jail.

Shipp faces counts of statutory rape and taking indecent liberties with a minor.
