Arizona Woman Accused of Sex with Minor
[Previous 3/27/14 post]
(Phoenix, Arizona) A 23-year-old local woman, Anna Areola-Hernandez, has been accused of engaging in sex with minors and infecting at least one with an STD.

Areola-Hernandez faces three counts each of suspicion of sexual conduct with a minor, child molestation, unlawful age misrepresentation, and adult posing as a minor for a sexual conduct act.

Sgt. Jay O’Neill, a spokesman for the Glendale Police Department, said detectives had been alerted to an inappropriate and potentially sexual relationship between a 23-year-old woman and an underage boy. The underage boy later turned out to be a 13 year old. Areola-Hernandez met the minor at a Phoenix mall and engaged in sex several times.

Detectives learned through investigation that Areola-Hernandez, who used the screen names “Tiny Hernandez” or “Ana Hernandez,” communicated with minors through texts and social media sites including Facebook, Kik, Snapchat, and Tango. Her profile pics were styled to make herself look younger.

Areola-Hernandez was booked without bail since she is considered a flight risk.
