It’s The Religious Ones You Have To Watch

A 32-year-old mother of three has been charged with sexual assault because of a relationship she had with a 14-year-old boy she met while leading a church youth group … “I did not assault him,” [she said] “He’s my very good friend” … the family began going to DeHart’s home to attend the East Hartford Mission, a community church DeHart said she started. According to investigators, the 14-year-old boy was in a youth group led by DeHart that included overnight trips … “I think he’s mature enough to marry me,” she said. And if he wanted to, she said she would do it. “Even though he’s a teenager, he’s always looking out for me. … Anyone could fall for that person. He’s very strong.” … DeHart doesn’t think she’s broken the law. It was not a crime, she explained, but a romance. “It’s more like Romeo and Juliet,” she said, “two people who can’t be together because of how society views them. “I really believe in my innocence.”
