Wisconsin Woman Accused of Sex with Boy

(Racine, Wisconsin) A 23-year-old local woman, Andrea R. Epps, has been accused of engaging in a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy. She has been charged with misdemeanor sex with a child age 16 or older.

According to the criminal complaint, the boy's mother contacted Racine police on June 29 to report that her son had been having a sexual relationship with Epps since he was 15. Reports said the teen had told his special education therapist from the Racine Unified School District that Epps pursued him and eventually he had sex with her.

The relationship reportedly continued until two weeks before the teen's mother called police.

Epps was originally charged with a felony but it was changed to a misdemeanor after investigators found the boy was 16 when the relations started. She was booked into the Racine County Jail and released on $500 bond.
