Woman, 45, charged with having sex with 13-year-old boy

A 45-year-old Dover woman has been arrested for having sex with a 13-year-old boy in her car on a clear, cold Monday night last spring.

Elaine B. Goodman has been charged with fourth-degree rape, three counts of third-degree rape, two counts of second-degree unlawful sexual contact, and sexual solicitation of a child.

Goodman had arranged to meet the boy, who was sneaking out of his house to meet her at about 1 a.m. a few weeks before her 45th birthday, according to court documents.

The pair drove around for a while, then parked and sat in the back seat talking and being intimate until about 4:30 in the morning, when Goodman had to drop him off at home and get ready for work, according to the documents.

During an interview at the Children's Advocacy Center, the boy said that at one point, after kissing him and undressing, Goodman "took his you-know-what and put it in her you-know-what," according to the documents.

The Smyrna Police Department's special investigations unit started looking into the incident soon after and collected DNA evidence from the car and clothing worn that night and digital evidence from cell phones.

The arrest was based primarily on the digital evidence, which included text messages between Goodman and the boy and Goodman and a friend that referred to the incident, according to court documents.

Goodman told her friend through text message: "He is so cute with a nice ass body," according to the documents. "I asked him what in the world are u doing with a body like that at 13..."

Smyrna police arrested Goodman on Wednesday and committed her to Baylor Women's Correctional Institution near New Castle in lieu of $225,000 secured bond.
