A 35-year-old woman has been charged with 20 counts of rape and sodomy after she allegedly had an eight-month sexual relationship with an 11-year-old boy, it emerged today.
Sarah Beth Hopkins, from Salem, was arrested on Sunday after the parents of her alleged victim reported her to police.
The boy, now 12, confessed to his mother he had been sexually active with Hopkins for the last eight months.
When Hopkins was confronted she allegedly admitted the sexual abuse.
The family lived at the same apartment complex as Hopkins - who was seen as a trusted family friend - until about two weeks ago, according to KGW.
The mother became suspicious of their close friendship and the amount of time they spent together.
The abuse is thought to have taken place at her apartment and while they were out on long walks together.
