Kentucky - A counselor at a youth services center is now charged with raping a 17-year-old boy.

Brooke Briscoe was arrested Monday morning at her home in Okolona and police say there could be other victims. The Bullitt County Sheriff's Department says they became aware of the allegations last week from Child Protective Services.

Police say the crime happened one time at Sunrise Children's Services in Mount Washington.

The suspect works at the home for troubled boys and police say their relationship crossed the line.

“We've only charged her with one count each it is an ongoing investigation and we're still investigating to see if there could be any other charges,” said Scotty Mcgaha of the Bullitt County Sheriff’s Office.

Police say the legal age of consent in Kentucky is 16-years-old but since Briscoe was a caretaker for the boy, it is illegal.

Sunrise Children's Services released a statement Monday afternoon:

"We work, every day, to protect the children in our care and provide them a better future. We take this situation very seriously and are shocked and saddened to find out the allegations are true. But we are grateful that someone stepped forward to alert us to the situation so we could stop it."

She has been suspended from her job at the center until the investigation is complete.

Compared to the pandemic of homosexual foster men that has been going on, THIS story is mild to the point of almost not being news.  Just NORMAL immorality.
