Former Louisiana mayor Misty Roberts has completed a 90-day jail sentence for raping a 16-year-old boy while she was in office, according to state corrections records. Roberts, 44, finished her sentence on Labor Day, one week after Judge Kent Savoie rejected a request from prosecutors to impose a harsher sentence. Savoie admitted in court that he had mistakenly based Roberts' sentence on a list of more than 30 cases resolved through plea deals, unlike Roberts' case, which ended in a jury trial and guilty verdict, according to local news outlet KPLC. "I asked someone to get me a list of cases similar," Savoie was quoted as saying on August 31. "I made an assumption, and that assumption was wrong. I was wrong in that respect." Roberts was facing up to 17 years in prison after being convicted in early March of carnal knowledge of a juvenile and indecent behavior with a minor. Prosecutors said she sexually assaulted the underage victim while they drank alcohol at a pool party at her home in July 2024. Roberts was mayor of DeRidder at the time of the crime, having held the post since 2018. She resigned days before authorities arrested her in early August 2024. The victim was a local high school student who was friends with Roberts' son, a key witness in the case. After her conviction, Roberts was required to register as a sex offender, pay $5,000 in fines, submit to regular drug screenings, and undergo psychotropic and psychological therapy after her release. She would have to serve two suspended five-year prison sentences concurrently if she violates conditions of her release. Roberts addressed Savoie at her sentencing on June 9, saying, "I blame myself then, I blame myself today and I will blame myself for the rest of my life. I let a lot of people down, and I am the only person responsible for that." She also reportedly apologized to the family of her victim, saying: "I can't give back the high school days ... I can't take away the embarrassment that so many mean people on the internet have put them through." The victim's mother provided an impact statement in which she called Roberts "a predator with hair extensions, high heels [and] Botox." "Stay the hell away from my family," the victim's mother was reported to have told Roberts. The case has drawn significant public attention, highlighting the intersection of power, abuse, and accountability in local government.
