Woman Accused Of Statutory Rape Arraigned

Jessica Crist

A St Joseph woman was arraigned via video Tuesday on charges she had sexual relations with two underage boys. Prosecutors charged Jessica Crist, 25, with two counts of statutory rape.

Investigators said in court documents that Crist admitted having sex with her 15-year-old neighbor, while the boy’s friend watched. She’s also accused of having sex with the friend.

It’s not yet known if there are other, unreported victims.

Crist will apply for a public defender. In the meantime, she’s being held in the Buchanan County Jail under $60 thousand bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled November 16.
