Peru – Today at approximately at 2:30 p.m., a criminal investigation by Indiana State Police Detective Josh Rozzi resulted in the arrest of Kayla Scott, 25, 191 East Riverside Drive, Peru, IN. She was arrested at her residence when Troopers Ezariah Bricknell and Adam Duffitt served her with a Miami Circuit Court arrest warrant. The warrant alleged six class B felony charges for sexual misconduct with a minor.
Detective Rozzi started an investigation after receiving information from the Miami County Division of the Indiana Department of Child Services that a 14-year-old Miami County boy had possibly committed sexual acts with an adult female. The investigation allegedly revealed that the then 24-year-old Kayla Scott purportedly committed sex acts with a 14-year-old-Miami County boy. The sexual acts allegedly started in late May early June 2014 and continued repeatedly through July 9, 2014.
Scott is incarcerated in the Miami County Jail with a bond of $150,000.
All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
