Arkansas Woman Accused of Sex Assault of Boy, 16

(Fayetteville, Arkansas) A 40-year-old Springdale woman, Adrienne Wright, has been accused of sexually abusing a 16-year-old male patient at a health care facility.

Wright faces a charge of second-degree sexual assault.

The police had interviewed a 16-year-old boy, identified as “JK” at the Children Safety Center on Feb. 15 during which the boy alleged that an employee at a health facility had sexually assaulted him, the affidavit said.

The name of the health facility was redacted, but the affidavit said the boy was a live-in patient at the facility between Sept. 7 and Dec. 20 of last year. The affidavit said the boy was being treated for “anger issues.”

The boy told officers a female employee he knew as “Ms. A” had a sexual relationship with him that started a couple weeks after he entered the facility, the report said. The boy later identified Wright in a photo line-up, the report said.

The incidents happened at night and out of sight of security cameras, the boy told officers, and consisted of “hand jobs” and at least one instance of her performing oral sex on him, the report said.

Wright was booked into custody at the Washington County Detention Center with bond set at $15,000.
