Nicole Marie Smith
(St. Charles County, Missouri) A 30-year-old local woman, Nicole Marie Smith, has been accused of engaging in sex with her son's 12-year-old friend.

Smith faces counts of statutory rape and statutory sodomy.

Smith, 30, allegedly performed oral sex on the boy multiple times between April and December 2014, according to a St. Charles County probable cause statement.

Investigators found cell phone messages between Smith and the boy, in which “the two professed their love for one another,” authorities said in the document.

Smith encouraged the boy to erase messages from her and tried to “manipulate him into destroying evidence of the crime,” authorities said.

She stated she was afraid to go to jail, police said.

Smith was booked into custody with bond set at $75,000.
