New York Woman and Boy Under 15

(Glens Falls, New York) A 21-year-old local woman, Alexa Garnett, has admitted to engaging in sex with a boy under the age of 15.

Garnett pleaded guilty to third-degree rape.

She was not accused of forcing the boy to have sex, but the charge was filed because the teen was too young to legally consent. The age of consent in New York is 17.

Garnett agreed to a plea deal that will include a 10-year term on probation when she is sentenced April 10 by Washington County Judge Kelly McKeighan.
