Volunteer Mom Arrested for Sex with Boy Scout

(Fort Worth, Texas) A 33-year-old volunteer mom overseeing a Boy Scout troop, Courtney Lynn Sheward, was arrested yesterday for allegedly engaging in sex with a 16-year-old Boy Scout.

Sheward faces sex assault charges while police pursue allegations of offenses with at least one other boy.

Her teenage son was a member of the same troop as the scout she is accused of having sex with, police said.

"It was through her involvement as a volunteer parent that she met the 16-year-old male victim and a relationship began," said Fort Worth police Sgt. Chad Mahaffey. "As a result of the relationship, they had nonforcible sex."

Sheward was booted from her position with the Boy Scouts. She was booked into custody with bail set at $25,000.
