Texas Woman Accused of Sex with Boy, 13

(Graham, Texas) A 22-year-old local-area woman, Heather Renea Brannon, has been arrested for allegedly engaging in a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old boy.

The boy's mother alerted authorities about the alleged relationship.

According to Young County Sheriff's Capt. Tim Bay, Brannon faces a charge of aggravated sexual assault, a first-degree felony.

Investigators interviewed the teen male who at first denied the relationship.

“He admitted it to another deputy,” Bay said.

Brannon also denied the relationship when first questioned before admitting the two had been intimate.

Bay said the two claimed the relationship was consensual and that they were in love.

Despite that, Bay said an adult cannot have sex with a 13-year-old.

Brannon was booked into custody with bond set at $15,000.
