Florida Mom "Parties" with Minors

(Jacksonville, Florida) A 40 year-old local woman, Cherelyn Laura McDonald (aka Cher), has been accused of turning her home into a "party house" where minors were encouraged to consume alcohol and engage in sexual activity.

McDonald faces counts of lewd and lascivious battery to a minor 12 to 16 years old, encouraging or enticing a person under the age of 16 to engage in sexual activity, and contributing to the delinquency of a child.

The heavily redacted police report makes note of "sex" and "alcohol" consumption at the Arlington home.

Neighbors say McDonald had two children living with her, a boy and girl with the oldest a teenager.

The Department of Children and Families has joined the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office in the investigation.

DCF spokesman John Harrell says the mother's two children have been placed with family members while the Child Protection Team works to determine more about the home environment.

Details on booking are unavailable.
