Former DeRidder Mayor Released After 90-Day Prison Sentence Following Conviction for Having Sex with Teen
Roberts was also fined $5,000 and must register as a sex offender after her conviction for sex with a 16-year-old boy.
- On Monday, Former DeRidder Mayor Misty Roberts completed her 90-day jail sentence after being convicted of carnal knowledge of a juvenile and indecent behavior with a juvenile.
- Judge Kent Savoie sentenced Roberts to 90 days in jail, a $5,000 fine, and suspended prison terms following her jury conviction for sexual contact with a minor.
- KPLC reported that Savoie based the sentence on more than 30 cases resolved through plea agreements, unlike Roberts' prosecution, which culminated in a jury trial and guilty verdict.
- Prosecutors requested a harsher sentence, but Savoie rejected that motion on Aug. 31, acknowledging his reliance on the plea-deal comparison cases was a mistake.
- Her conviction and sex-offender registration remain in place; Roberts must submit to drug screenings and undergo psychological treatment for the next 15 years.
