Woman, 32, faces charges after sex with 14-year-old

By Matt Snyder

GROVE CITY — A 32-year-old woman from Pine Township will face charges in Common Pleas Court that she had sex with a 14-year-old boy after she picked him up from school.

Charges of statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault — both felonies — and corruption of minors filed against Tammy Lynn Woodley, of 88 Fleming Road were held to court Wednesday by District Judge David Fish.

State police said the boy’s father reported on Oct. 28 that Mrs. Woodley seduced his son.

According to police:

Mrs. Woodley and the boy were acquainted through one of her relatives and their relationship developed to the point that Mrs. Woodley’s husband once commented the two of them acted like “two teenagers in love.”

Mrs. Woodley started picking the boy up at school in September. “We would usually go for a ride. ... go to the park, or go for a walk,” she said. The boy said they shared a few kisses and they talked about getting serious, but both recognized the age difference.

On Oct. 27, Mrs. Woodley said “things got a little out of hand and against my better judgment, one thing led to another and we had sex.”

“After it was all done, remorse set in and I realized what had just happened. After that I took him home,” she said.

Mrs. Woodley is free on bond.
