Woman Charged With Abusing 8-Year-Old Boy
A 29-year-old woman faces charges of sexually abusing an 8-year-old boy who investigators said she considered her boyfriend. Tammy Imre was arrested Friday and charged with sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor. A judge in Bridgeport set bond at $250,000.
Police began investigating in September after the third-grader’s mother discovered a letter Imre had written him.
Police said the boy, a playmate of Imre’s 7-year-old daughter, initially denied doing anything with Imre because he feared getting into trouble. He later told police he had sexual intercourse with her and she gave him a key to her apartment.
