Daycare Worker Accused of Raping Boy

(Murfreesboro, Tennessee) A 21-year-old daycare worker at Rock Springs Academy, Samantha S. Kranzke, was arrested last Friday by Murfreesboro Police for allegedly engaging in sex with a 14-year-old boy.

Kranzke faces a charge of statutory rape.

MPD Detective Tommy Roberts was assigned to investigate the case after the teen’s mother informed officers she received a phone call from Kranzke asking her not to prosecute her (Kranzke) for having sex with her son, according to the report.

It turns out Kranzke worked with a woman who was a friend of the teen victim’s mother.

The friend apparently overheard Kranzke bragging about having sex with the teen at work, according to an incident report. When the woman threatened to tell the teen’s mother about the sexual contact, Kranzke decided to call her on her own.

Kranzke was booked into custody at the Rutherford County Jail and subsequently released on $2,000 bond.
