NEW YORK, June 1 (UPI) -- A 39-year-old woman has been charged with repeatedly having sex with a 16-year-old neighbor to whom she gave a $35,000 Mercedes Benz.
Lisa Frodella was charged Wednesday with two counts each of third-degree rape and third-degree criminal sexual act after the youth told police they had been having an affair since January, the New York Post reported.
It all fell apart in April when the youth, now 17, showed up at home with the new car, and his mother became suspicious, the newspaper said. The youth claimed he and Frodella had met in at least two motels, her car and her home.
He claimed once, Frodella called his high school pretending to be his mother to take him out of class, Nassau Detective Lt. Kevin Smith said.
The car was returned to Frodella, whose lawyer says the boy is fabricating "90 percent" of the story.
Frodella could face up to four years behind bars on each count.
