A Taberg woman was arrested after an investigation into the rape of a 12-year-old Floyd boy in February 2017, according to Oneida County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Joseph Lisi of the County Child Advocacy Center.



Rome Police Detective E.A. D'Alessandro of the Child Advocacy Center led the investigation and reported that Jean Marie Foster, 18, who was the victim's babysitter, was arrested Tuesday and charged with first-degree rape, officials said.



Foster was arraigned in Town of Floyd Court and was being held in the Oneida County jail in lieu of $25,000 bail.

The investigation is continuing and additional charges are likely.



D'Alessandro said the victim has been offered counseling through the Child Advocacy center.
