(Bath, Pennsylvania) A 42-year-old local woman, Theresa E. Kasznicki, has been arrested for allegedly engaging in sex with a 14-year-old boy and corrupting three of his friends.

The alleged offenses became known after Kasznicki bragged of her experiences to a co-worker at her place of employment.

Kasznicki, who listed her address as Hope House psychiatric clinic in Bethlehem, now faces charges that include statutory sexual assault, indecent assault, criminal solicitation, corrupting a minor and endangering the welfare of a child, according to court records.

On June 25, Kasznicki gave the boy marijuana and the anti-anxiety drug Ativan, then stripped him naked and had sex with him at her former apartment at 277 E. Main St., police said.

Parts of the encounter were witnessed by three other teens, all 16, who were at the home and who Kasznicki is also accused of providing drugs, police said.

Kasznicki was booked into custody at the Northampton County Prison with bail set at $75,000.
