ROANOKE RAPIDS, N.C. (WTVD) -- A Roanoke Rapids woman has been charged with statutory rape after the child's parents reported her to police.
Police were called to the 400 block of Wallace Fork Road Tuesday at 8:45 p.m. for a possible sex offense involving a minor.
The child's parent told Lt. Perry Parks that there was inappropriate conduct between their child and the suspect. Police would not reveal the child's age or gender to protect the identity of the victim.

She was given an $80,000 bond and an Oct. 19, 2016 court date.
