A 32-year-old Tuscaloosa woman is charged with the rape of a 14-year-old boy.

The mother of the boy reported the sexual assault to Tuscaloosa police today, said Lt. Teena Richardson. The department's Juvenile Division took over the investigation, and found the rape took place in the 3400 block of E. University Boulevard at the victim's home.

Heather Ann Klopp is charged with second-degree rape. She is being held in the Tuscaloosa County Jail with bond set at $30,000. Richardson said the investigation is ongoing, and more charges could be filed.

No other information was immediately released.

According to Alabama law, second-degree rape includes, "Being 16 years old or older, he or she engages in sexual intercourse with a member of the opposite sex less than 16 years old and more than 12 years old provided, however, the actor is at least two years older than the member of the opposite sex."

In Alabama, the age of consent is 16 and only leads to criminal charges if there is an age difference of two calendar years. Also, 16 and 17-year-olds are charged as juveniles, but those 18 and older are charged as adults.

A Class B felony is punishable by two to 20 years in prison and up to $30,000 in fines. A person convicted of statutory rape could be required to register as a sex offender, depending on the conviction and terms of sentencing.
