The boys offered to shovel snow in front of Rochelle Stewart's home on Jan. 8, according to police.

However, police said Stewart then offered the boys alcohol, which they consumed. One of the boys allegedly confessed to detectives that he became drunk. The criminal complaint said Stewart sat down next to the intoxicated boy and put her leg over his and then attempted to touch him in an inappropriate and sexual manner.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
