[Previous 10/20/10 post]
(Charleston, West Virginia) A 30-year-old local woman, Melissa Sigman, has been accused of engaging in sexual activity with an 11-year-old boy.

Sigman was arrested Saturday and charged with first-degree sexual assault.

Charleston Cpl. Chris Johnson was dispatched Saturday afternoon to an apartment in the 600 block of Grant Street to investigate after several neighbors reported that a child in the neighborhood had been sexually assaulted.

The victim's father called police after a couple told him the boy had been assaulted. They told police when they returned to their apartment late Friday night that the boy had been inside. He told them that he touched Sigman's genitals and that she performed oral sex on him, according to a complaint filed in Kanawha Magistrate Court.

Sigman is a friend of the boy's mother's roommate and had been staying with them a few nights, police said.

Sigman was booked into custody at the South Central Regional Jail with bond set at $25,000.
