A California woman is accused of sexually exploiting three high school football players, with one official calling the alleged encounters "shocking to the senses."
The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday arrested Mary Frances Fletcher, 42, charging her with unlawful sexual intercourse and knowingly dissuading a witness or victim of a crime. She has since posted $10,000 bail.
Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey told People the encounters began last summer when Fletcher, a dental assistant, assisted a with a photo session for the Mt. Shasta High School football team.
"There were communications going back and forth, and unfortunately it culminated in inappropriate sexual activities," Lopey said. "Each boy had at least one sexual encounter of an intimate nature."
The sheriff said photos of a sexual nature and texts were shared between the boys and Fletcher, and they began to circulate to other students. After "several weeks," a school official became aware of the situation and informed the police. No school employees were involved in the alleged encounters, according to the sheriff's office.
A friend of Fletcher's told People the reports of the situation have been "one-sided," but the allegations have shaken the rural community near the California-Oregon border.
“These kinds of offenses are shocking to the senses, and in the small communities they are very traumatic and difficult for everyone to understand and accept,” Lopey said.
“Our department looked at this as a very serious offense, and we don’t draw any distinction whether they are male or female. For law enforcement, it is incomprehensible these things go on. They are relatively rare in our county, but they do happen. It is a tragedy for everyone involved.”
