A 46-year-old Dover woman has pleaded guilty to fourth degree rape for having sex with her daughter's 13-year-old boyfriend, authorities said.

Elaine B. Goodman entered the plea in Superior Court in Dover on Friday. She faces zero to 15 years in prison when she is sentenced on Jan. 12.

Goodman met the boy in the early morning hours of March 15. The pair drove around, then parked and sat in the back seat talking and being intimate until about 4:30 a.m., according to court documents.

During an interview at the Children's Advocacy Center, the boy said that at one point, after kissing him and undressing him, Goodman "took his you-know-what and put it in her you-know-what," according to the documents.

The Smyrna Police Department investigated the incident and collected DNA evidence from the car and clothing worn that night and digital evidence from cell phones.

The arrest was based primarily on the digital evidence, which included text messages between Goodman and the boy and Goodman and a friend that referred to the incident, according to court documents.

Goodman was arrested and charged in November 2015.

Following her plea, the judge ordered a pre-sentence investigation to be completed before sentencing.
