A 44 year-old sheriff’s deputy faces serious charges over claims she had sex with a 16 year-old boy.
Shauna Bishop, 44, is reported to have had full sexual intercourse with the youngster, as well as oral sex, and also stands accused of molesting him. The age of consent in California is 18.
Bishop, who has worked for Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office in California for the last five years, was re-arrested Thursday and will appear in court next week. She was first taken in by police for questioning last month. It is unclear how the claims against Bishop emerged. After Bishop’s initial arrest, investigators are said to have found evidence that the allegations made against her were true.
She is said to have known her alleged victim from outside work, and the abuse she is accused of did not take place while Bishop was on duty. Bishop is currently on paid administrative leave, and will be arraigned in court next week. She has been charged with unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, child molestation, and three counts of oral copulation with a minor. Folsom Police Department say they do not believe there are any further victims. A Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office spokesman said they were in ‘complete cooperation’ with the investigating police department.
