California Mom Accused of Sex with Boy

(Antioch, California) A 30-year-old local woman, Nicole Bradburn, was arrested last Thursday for allegedly engaging in an extended-term sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy.

Bradburn faces 27 counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.

According to Antioch acting Lt. Diane Aguinaga,

The arrest capped an investigation that began in January when the boys' parents went to police with concerns about the relationship their son was having with Bradburn. But the boy initially refused to admit the nature of the relationship, Aguinaga said.

"It was difficult, because if he's unwilling to admit anything, then there was very little we could do," she said.

Bradburn, who had met the boy through her teenage daughter, was spending an inordinate amount of time with him -- even occasionally picking him up from school -- and the boy's parents obtained a restraining order against her, authorities said.

Bradburn was booked into custody at the county jail with bail set at $1.7 million.
