BENTON, Mo. -- A Sikeston, Mo., woman was charged Friday for having oral sex with a 16-year-old girl. Jennifer Foreman, 31, was charged with two counts of felony statutory sodomy. Bond was set at $25,000. The defendant is accused of performing oral sex with the girl in her Benton home on seven occasions between April 5 and the end of June, according to a probable-cause statement. Foreman is a friend of the victim's mother, the statement added. Police were notified when the mother found letters written to the victim from Foreman, according to Scott County sheriff's detective Gregg Ourth. The letters explained some of the details of the incidents. The sexual contact between the two was consensual, he said. If convicted, Foreman could serve up to seven years in prison for each count.
