An Arkansas woman who is featured in a reality television series has been charged with the rape of a teenage boy.
Andrea Clevenger, one of the moms from TLC's "Cheer Perfection," a show about competitive cheerleaders, turned herself in to authorities Tuesday, according to KATV.
Clevenger is charged with one count of rape and one count of engaging children in sexually explicit conduct for use in a visual or print medium, according to KARK. Police began an investigation following a tip from the Arkansas Child Abuse Hotline in November.
An arrest affidavit dated Jan. 13 outlines several inappropriate encounters that allegedly took place between Clevenger, 33, and a 13-year-old boy.
According to the document, the boy was acquainted with Clevenger's family and went to their Sherwood, Ark., home on Nov. 8. While there, the suspect allegedly made advances on him which culminated in the two having sex on a couch.
That was not the first encounter to transpire between the victim and Clevenger, cops said. In an interview with police, the victim said he and the woman had oral sex on two separate occasions in October 2013, both times in Clevenger's car.
The victim told police that Clevenger also sent pornography and naked photos of herself to his cell phone. Forensic investigation of the victim's phone revealed "numerous images of females in various states of undress... [and] several images of an exposed penis."
"It's sickening, just absolutely disgusting and especially that age," a local mother who did not want to be identified told KARK. "I think the little boy... being 12, 13, 14 -- however old he was -- he probably wasn't in the right state of mind to even know if it's right or wrong, honestly."
