Northbridge Woman Accused Of Raping Teen Boy

UXBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) ― A 45-year-old Northbridge woman has been charged with raping a 13-year-old boy she knew.

Linda Mayotte pleaded not guilty Wednesday in Uxbridge District Court to four counts of indecent assault and battery on a child and six counts of child rape. She was also charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

She was held on $2,500 bail, and ordered to wear a monitoring device if she posts bail.

Prosecutors say the alleged rapes occurred between Feb. 1 and June 1, 2005.

Moyotte's 46-year-old husband, Joseph, has also been arrested and charged with indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 and statutory rape of a child. He will be arraigned on Friday.

The Telegram & Gazette of Worcester reports that Linda defense lawyer said the boy only recently reported the alleged incidents to police while being questioned about a theft.

Three children living in Mayotte's home were taken into state custody.
