A 36 year-old mother raped a 14 year-old boy from her daughter’s school in the back seat of her car, police say.

Rheta Leanne Melvin, 36, is accused of attacking the youngster after adding him on Snapchat, and bombarding him with sexually explicit messages.

Melvin, from Riddle in Oregon, is then said to have ‘lured’ the youngster into her car and took him for a drive, before pulling over and forcing the youngster to have sexual intercourse with her on its back seat.


Afterwards, Melvin is said to have continued to pester the boy, and request a repeat meeting.

He reportedly felt uncomfortable with the suspected pedophile’s continued advances, and is said to have made excuses to try and avoid her.



Police were contacted on December 3 after the victim’s mother heard about it from another parent.

Officers interviewed the alleged victim, who showed them some of the messages said to have been exchanged with Melvin.

One saw the boy telling Melvin that he was not going to get back with an ex because he was ‘saving himself for (Melvin)’.

He said he had deleted the sexually explicit photos, with officers also collecting a DNA sample from a shirt the boy said he was wearing when Melvin raped him.

Cops executed a search warrant at Melvin’s home on December 5, with the mother allegedly admitting ‘sexting’ the youngster.

She reportedly said she believed him to be 17 or 18, and said she had only sent him explicit images after he had requested them.

Melvin did not admit to sexual intercourse with the child, but admitted giving him a ride, KTVL reported.

She also admitted sexting other young kids, it is claimed.

Melvin faces charges including third degree rape, sodomy, luring a minor, and sexual abuse in the second degree.
