Former Louisiana mayor sentenced to 90 days over rape of 16-year-old boy

Misty Roberts, a former mayor in Louisiana, was sentenced to 90 days in jail on Tuesday, June 10, 2026, for the rape of a 16-year-old boy. The 44-year-old faced a potential maximum sentence of 17 years. Roberts was convicted earlier this year of two felonies: carnal knowledge of a juvenile, also known as statutory rape, and indecent behavior with a juvenile. The sentencing concludes a legal process that began with her earlier conviction.
