Arizona Mom Accused of Sex with Male Student

(Maricopa County, Arizona) A 35-year-old local woman, Cherish Arroyo, has been accused of engaging in sex with her son's friend, a 16-year-old male. Arroyo's son and the alleged victim are teammates on the Copper Canyon High School football team.

Arroyo faces six counts of sexual conduct with a minor.

Arroyo was arrested at her home where she lives with her husband and two children, each of whom attend Copper Canyon High School with the victim.

The home is also the scene of the alleged crime -- the MCSO says Arroyo and the boy had sex in the home that Arroyo shares with her children and husband.

Once in custody, Arroyo admitted to bedding the boy, saying she did so because she was "lonesome."

According to Sheriff Joe Arpaio, information from the victim indicates there might be other victims.

Arroyo was booked and released on bond.
