A 39 year-old woman sexually abused a 14 year-old boy to cheer herself up while her boyfriend was in prison, police say.

Leonora Propes faces statutory sexual assault charges after reportedly admitting her crimes to police, telling them she’d done so because she was depressed and missed jailbird boyfriend Glenn Marr, 34.

She was arrested after the boy told police about the alleged attack, which he says took place last summer.

He reportedly had sex with Propes, of Scranton in Pennsylvania, four times while Marr was in jail, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported.

Marr is said to have told police what happened, before changing his story, and claiming he had made up the allegations to get revenge on her.


The boy initially denied anything had happened with Propes when his mother first called law enforcement officials to report the crime, but later detailed the alleged assaults.


Propes offered her own denial and claimed that the youngster’s mother had fabricated the allegations after a row over stolen money, it was reported.

She is since said to have admitted that the abusive encounters did take place.

Propes also faces a corruption of minor charge. Marr has been charged with obstruction over his alleged attempts to lie to police about the abuse.

Both are due back in court Wednesday.
