Oklahoma Woman Lures 15-Year-Old Boy Into Tanning Booth, Strips, Kisses Him
A woman was charged with a felony on Monday for luring a teenage boy into a tanning booth at a Bartlesville, Oklahoma gym in order to seduce him.
Betsy Ann Brashear is a 24-year-old youth gymnastics coach facing sex charges for allegedly luring a 15-year-old boy into a tanning booth, stripping, and trying to kiss him, reports NY Daily. According to the boy’s mother, Brashear was checking out her son when he walked in the door of Colaw Fitness in Bartlesville on Thursday. The mother arrived with her son at the gym around midnight, and noticed that she was trying to flirt with him. At this point, she asked other gym members to keep an eye on them, reports Newson6.
According to an affidavit, a man working out at the gym observed Brashear luring the boy into a tanning booth and told his mother. The mother then went to the booth and pounded on the door. The son answered, and Brashear was trying to hide in the room. The boy’s mother entered, and dragged Brashear out of the tanning booth. The document says that she was wearing nothing but a sports bra, according to DailyMail.
Upon discovering that Brashear was partially nude, the mother let her go since there were several men nearby. To avoid further confrontation, Brashear stayed in the tanning booth until police arrived. The boy told investigators that Brashear asked him to spot her on weights, and then propositioned him to accompany her to the tanning booth. Once inside, she began taking off her clothes and kissing him.
Brashear denied stripping down, but admitted that she knew the boy was only 15. In her defense, she said that “there was nothing wrong or illegal about giving someone a kiss.” She was arrested and booked at the Washington County Jail, only to be released Friday on $20,000 bond. As a condition of the bond, Brashear isn’t allowed to go anywhere near anyone under 18, family members notwithstanding.
Brashear is listed as a Bartlesville youth coach on an Oklahoma gymnastics web site. She’s due back in court on July 13, 2012.

I was hoping to read that when the mom dragged the slut out of the tanning booth, she beat the crap out of her.

sick ass people these days.

Nov 10, 2012
What a wonderful story!
Nov 17, 2012
Dude your moms an idiot. Cause a big scene like that. Who umong you men hasn't had a fling with an older women when you were young?
Nov 17, 2012
lol
Dec 13, 2012

Dec 16, 2012
What a cock block.
Dec 16, 2012
This happened in July. Why is this still here?
Dec 16, 2012
that kid hates his mom.
Dec 16, 2012
"The mother arrived with her son at the gym around midnight…" There's your first problem right there.
Dec 16, 2012
I wonder how much the boy is to blame.Been there done that. I was guilty as hell.
Dec 16, 2012
Today's Kardashian culture.

Waste of news. Let the damn woman go and go after some real pedophiles. A 15year old boy capable of attracting a woman that age has most likely already had sex multiple times and knew exactly what he was doing. This "Lured him in" terminology is ridiculously silly.
Dec 17, 2012
if I was that kid I would brag endlesly about iit..a 24yo hottie kissed me for no reason…HELL YEAH..im not going to have any relationship with her anyway…
parents seem to get stupid for some reason over these stuff…HE IS 15..she didn't physicly hurt him..so why whould anyone make it a deal…and don't start the ''he is still a kid'' bullshit..the age of sexuality is in freefall since the 2000's so there is a 70% chance he already seen or done ''adult'' with a posible gf….wake up and smell the cofee..
Dec 17, 2012
And if U were to lure a 15 year old Girl in the same place? would that be OK.
Dec 17, 2012
This type of thing would have never happened to me!
Dec 17, 2012
Mechanical Dave – different genders, different physicality, different social dynamic, different power dynamic – different situation. Your analogy doesn't hold.
Dec 17, 2012
This happened once
Dec 17, 2012
Let the kid get some! Do you want him to turn out gay? Good grief~~~~
Dec 17, 2012
What a cockblock.
Dec 17, 2012
Mechanical Dave – males and females cannot be compared, as Rick has stated so well. The boy wasn't lured, I'd bet he knew the woman was going to be there. As an aside, when I was 15…I was at home, in bed after doing homework to get a good night sleep before school. If it was a weekend, I was still at home, in bed at midnight. And my mom and dad were in bed in the next room. The story begs the question: Where was dad?
Dec 17, 2012
As an afterthought, while my structured upbringing was good on many fronts, I'm sure it also had a lot to do with my rebelliousness later on.
I didn't get laid until I was over 20…and that was about 7 years of hell to endure for me until I finally got lucky.

Killjoy.
Dec 17, 2012
i hate his mom also, cute girl too. I bet it was thats kids fantasy
Dec 17, 2012
I know his mom is so sick for stopping it
Dec 17, 2012
Because HE's 15, she's allowed to do to him what a man would be arrested for doing to a 15 year old girl? He is under the legal age of consent………….whether or not his mom takes him to a gym late at night or where his dad is. If his dad took him @ 3pm, would anything be different?
Dec 18, 2012
Why are we hearing about this 7 months after it happened? Did you get tired of talking about all the unfortunate children that were slain? Typical of the News Media, let's jump on the band wagon of how our children (15 years old) are being exploited! I know this is not PC but that would have been a dream come true for me!
Dec 18, 2012
you ignore what everyone else on this thread has been noting: there is a vastly different power and social and even evolutionary dynamic. While I can agree that the law is the same (and carries the same consequences) regardless of gender, the law is intended to protect people from victimization and encourage growth (in general). Consider it this way, if the tables were turned, most women would be aghast that the perp didn't get castrated, yet most of the men you ask about this (who aren't trying to kiss up to you) will openly admit this not only doesn't scare them, it is a fantasy of them! age of consent is a sticky legal definition originally intended to protect those who might be taken exploitative advantage of… i fail to see how 98% of 15 year-old heterosexual males would be "taken advantage of" by a horny older woman… please stop thinking from a female perspective and RESPECT the possibility that males might see it differently
Dec 19, 2012
that's what i was thinking.. that' a very responsible adult.
Dec 20, 2012
No one was hurt. Boys will then brag out this to their friends.
Dec 20, 2012
He should have given her his cell phone number
Dec 20, 2012
I'll bet the kids pissed at his momma now, when I was 15 I would of jumped on that.
Dec 21, 2012
I don't think the kid complained…if it were me, I sure as hell wouldn't have complained!
Dec 21, 2012
You still would…what you talking only 15
