Mississippi Woman Accused of Sex with Boy

(Lumberton, Mississippi) A 31-year-old local woman, Kelly Faggard, has been accused of engaging in sex with a 13-year-old boy.

Faggard has been charged with statutory rape.

Faggard and the boy were acquaintances but authorities are not saying how the two knew each other.

Authorities say a school official with the Lumberton school district allegedly overheard a conversation that led them to believe that a sexual encounter had occurred at the suspects home in July. Both authorities and the boys parents were notified of the incident.

Faggard was booked into custody with bond set at $20,000.
