A Sumner County woman faces statutory rape charges after police say she engaged in a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy.

April Nicole Roach, 46, was indicted by a Sumner County Grand Jury with 10 counts of statutory rape by an authority figure.

Investigators believe Roach's sexual relationship with the minor boy occurred numerous times in multiple jurisdictions. Millersville police began investigating in September after receiving a report about the alleged rape.

Police did not release further information on the connection between Roach and the teen.

Roach was arrested Wednesday and booked into Sumner County Jail. It was not immediately clear if she had been granted bond or obtained legal representation.

Millersville police confirmed other agencies are investigating the case and a release from the agency did not rule out the possibility of further charges in other jurisdictions.
