A Hamilton County woman has been arrested and charged with the statutory rape of a 15-year-old boy, a sheriff’s office spokeswoman said today.

Law enforcement personnel investigated after a March 10 complaint by a family member of the boy and confirmed the sexual contact, said Janice Atkinson, public information officer for the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.

The suspect, Heather Maston Kimsey, 30, and the boy began having contact in February and it escalated into a sexual relationship, Ms. Atkinson said.

She said Ms. Mastin was arrested Friday, charged with aggravated statutory rape and taken to the Hamilton County Jail.
