Antioch Woman Charged With Having Sex With 14-Year-Old Boy
ANTIOCH (CBS SF) -- A 30-year-old Antioch woman was charged Monday with 27 felonies for allegedly having an ongoing sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy she met through her teenage daughter, Antioch police said Tuesday.
Police began investigating Nicole Bradburn in January after receiving a report that she was having a sexual relationship with the victim, police said.
The victim's parents had noticed that their son had been spending a lot of time with Bradburn and became suspicious. At one point they even obtained a temporary restraining order against her, police said.
Bradburn, however, had allegedly convinced the victim that she was in love with him, and he refused to admit he was having a relationship with her, police said.
It wasn't until the boy's father discovered what police characterized as an "incriminating text message" from Bradburn on his son's cell phone that the boy finally admitted that he had been having a sexual relationship with Bradburn since October.
Detectives served a search warrant on Bradburn's house last week and arrested her.
She was charged Monday with 27 counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. She is being held at county jail in Martinez on more than $1.6 million bail.
Antioch police believe there could be other victims who have not yet come forward and are asking anyone with information about the case to call Detective Danielle Joannides at (925) 779-6931.
