Woman, 30, ‘raped underage boy multiple times with her husband’s blessing’
A 30 year-old woman raped a 14 year-old boy multiple times with her husband’s blessing, police say. Whitney Alexander, from Gravette in Arkansas, reportedly began abusing the youngster four years ago after grooming him on Snapchat and Instagram by sending explicit photos.
Alexander and her husband Trent were arrested May 1 after her alleged victim went to police, and told how Trent Alexander had initially been angry about the abuse, only for him to later ‘see both sides of the conversation,’ according to KNWA.
Her final sex attack on the boy took place last year, according to a police affidavit. Alexander had sex with the youngster a total of 30 times, although it is unclear how much of the abuse took place before he reached her home state’s age of consent, which is 16. It is unclear how the abuse eventually came to the attention of police investigators.
Alexander reportedly told her husband what had been going on, prompting him to break a bar stool in a fit of rage, according to the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Grilled about his alleged knowledge of the sex abuse, Trent Alexander denied knowing that was going on, and said he’d only broken the bar stool after his wife told him she no longer loved him.
Whitney Alexander has been charged with rape, while her husband faces an allegation of permitting the abuse of a minor, although he has not yet been formally charged. She is being held in Benton County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond.
