Overview
- A Louisiana jury on March 4 found Misty Roberts guilty of carnal knowledge of a juvenile and indecent behavior with a juvenile after a multi-day trial.
- Jurors deliberated for less than an hour following testimony from the 16-year-old, Roberts’ son and daughter, and other witnesses about a July 2024 pool party at her home.
- Prosecutors presented text messages, party photos and a delivery driver’s account of dropping off emergency contraception to support their case.
- The defense attacked the investigation and witness reliability and filed motions to exclude rumor and rehab references as well as certain videos from the trial.
- Roberts was released on a $100,000 bond after the verdict, faces Tier 1 sex-offender registration, and plans to appeal while urging the judge to forgo prison at sentencing.
