Amanda Sue Bostic, 36, of Waynesboro, was charged Oct. 31 with statutory sexual assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, corruption of minors and indecent exposure after an investigation by Washington Township police into allegations involving a 15-year-old boy, LocalNews1 reported.
LocalNews1 reported that statutory sexual assault and involuntary deviate sexual intercourse are first-degree felonies. Tri-State Alert reported that corruption of minors is a third-degree felony and indecent exposure is a first-degree misdemeanor.
The charges followed police investigation of an anonymous report of possible sexual contact. According to LocalNews1’s account of the criminal complaint, the boy alleged Bostic initiated sexual contact. The account describes allegations, not findings of guilt. LocalNews1 reported that the boy was taken into protective custody and later reunited with his mother, and that Bostic was processed at the Washington Township Police Department. Bostic is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court, Tri-State Alert reported.
Franklin County context
County child-welfare figures offer broader context but do not establish anything about this investigation. Franklin County reported that Children and Youth Services received 3,587 referrals in 2024; 496 were investigations into child abuse, and 17 cases were substantiated for sexual abuse. Those figures describe county agency activity, not the allegations in Bostic’s case.
Separately, the Children’s Advocacy Center of Franklin County says it provides a safe and supportive environment for children and families affected by abuse. The organization’s stated role does not indicate whether it was involved in this case.
