Mayor Allegedly Raped Teen, Ordered ‘Morning After’ Pill via DoorDash

A small-town mayor faces serious allegations after being accused of having sex with a 16-year-old minor during a party. Misty Roberts, 43, the former mayor of DeRidder, Louisiana, is on trial for third-degree rape related to an incident in 2024. Reports claim that following the encounter, she ordered emergency contraception via DoorDash.

Details of the Allegations

The alleged incident occurred during a pool party characterized by heavy drinking. It has been reported that Roberts was caught engaging in sexual activities with the minor by her children. The boy was a friend of Roberts’ son, who later testified about what he witnessed.

Testimony and Evidence

• Roberts’ son reportedly saw his mother and the boy through a crack in a window.
• During a group chat, Roberts shared a screenshot of a conversation with the victim’s mother confirming she was on birth control.
• Witnesses stated that they saw Roberts and the minor flirting and dancing together during the party.

A DoorDash driver testified that he delivered emergency contraception to Roberts’ home after she placed an order under the name “Misty C.” The driver later recognized her due to previous encounters while trick-or-treating with his children.

Response from Family and Friends

Roberts’ daughter also provided testimony, stating she saw her mother and the boy “on top of each other.” Furthermore, evidence presented included text exchanges between Roberts and her ex-husband, Duncan Clanton. Clanton mentioned that their children witnessed the incident.

Legal Proceedings and Charges

Roberts resigned from her position as mayor following the allegations. She faces charges of third-degree rape and contributing to the delinquency of minors. This is her second trial, as the first resulted in a mistrial due to the removal of judges connected to her ex-husband.

The Ongoing Trial

As the trial continues, various pieces of evidence are being evaluated, including witness accounts and digital communications. The case has attracted significant attention in the local community and beyond, raising concerns about the conduct of public officials.

The trial is set to resume shortly, with many eager to see the outcome of this unsettling case involving the alleged rape of a minor and the subsequent actions taken by the former mayor.
