FAYETTEVILLE — A woman who performed a sexual act on a 17-year-old boy at a mental health facility pleaded guilty Tuesday and was sentenced to eight years of probation.
Deidranna L. Wright, 22, of Springdale pleaded guilty in Washington County Circuit Court to second-degree sexual assault.
An employee of AmiCare Behavioral Centers, which oversees Vista Health in Fayetteville, told police Wright told her Nov. 12 she had just performed oral sex on a 17-year-old boy, according to reports.
The employee said Wright told her she was going to be in trouble, then suddenly became ill and vomited in a trash can, according to the report.
When interviewed by police, the boy told police Wright performed oral sex on him, according to the report.
The employee told police she had asked Wright to take the boy to the bathroom, where the incident occurred. Wright said she took the boy to the bathroom, but denied performing oral sex or telling anyone about it, according to police.
Wright also was fined $1,000, ordered to register as a sex offender and ordered to provide a DNA sample.
