Woman, 35, admits raping her friend's 12-year-old boy multiple times

She had sex with the boy more than a dozen times

Encounters occurred in her apartment and in public places

Guilty: Sarah Beth Hopkins admitted to recurring rendezvous with her friend's young son

An Oregon woman has admitted to repeatedly raping her friend’s 12-year-old son.

Sarah Beth Hopkins, 35, of Salem, pleaded guilty to three charges of rape and two counts of sodomy after her victim told his mother the two had sex more than a dozen times.

The woman had sex with the boy at her apartment and in public places when they went on walks, according to the Statesman Journal.

Authorities became aware of the woman’s deviant behaviour with the boy when he recently confessed to his mother about their relationship – he told her they had sex about 15 times, according to a probable cause statement cited by the paper.

The boy’s mother reportedly became concerned about the amount of time he spent with the woman.

He spilled the beans when she confronted him last August, telling her they had been sexually active for the previous eight months.

Ms Hopkins quickly copped to the boy’s accusations, but insisted she never threatened or offered him anything in return for sex, according to the Journal.

She originally faced 20 charges in the case, but prosecutors whittled that count down to 10. The depraved woman pleaded guilty to five after cutting a deal.
