12-YEAR-OLD FLORIDA BOY SAYS HE WAS VICTIMIZED BY COUGAR

Since this is a ‘he said, she said’ case, I’m guessing that the evidence police have is the texted message instructing the boy not to tell anyone.

A Pembroke Pines woman is charged with multiple counts of lewd and lascivious battery and molestation of a 12-year-old boy.

Keturah Zillah Gibson, 47, was also charged with tampering with a victim after Pembroke Pines police say Gibson sent instant messages to the boy to advise that if their encounters were discovered by others, they "never ever" had sex, according to a Pembroke Pines police report.

During two interviews, Gibson, who has no criminal record, denied the accusations and stated that she had never performed sexual acts on the victim, the report states.

Gibson told investigators that the boy had kissed her, attempted to place her hand on his buttocks on one occasion, and that the attention made her feel good, according to police.

She told police she did not tell the boy's parents because she didn't want him to get in trouble.

The juvenile alleged that between June 2012 and December 2013, during five to 10 brief encounters, Gibson would enter his bedroom and wake him after 2 a.m. to kiss him and perform oral sex, police said.

The alleged victim told investigators that Gibson messaged him with the instructions that he should not tell anyone, that she had consulted with an attorney, and that as long as they never engaged in sexual activity, she could not be arrested.

The boy's mother told police she wished to have Gibson prosecuted, police said.

Pembroke Pines police arrested Gibson Sunday.

Broward Judge John "Jay" Hurley ordered Monday that Gibson not have contact with the alleged battery victim. She was ordered to surrender her passport and remained in a Broward jail Tuesday on $110,000 bond, records show.

Hurley appointed a Guardian ad Litem for the boy and asked a prosecutor to notify the Florida Department of Children and Families.
