Police: Woman, 40, used boy, 13, for sex, drugs

LATROBE, Pa. -- Police have charged a 40-year-old Pennsylvania woman with having sex with a 13-year-old boy and then making him fake a toothache so he could get painkillers for her.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports Latrobe police have charged Jesse Kuhns with having sex with the boy when he stayed at her home in March. She also is accused of threatening him to keep him from telling anyone.

Police say she also coached the boy about how to act if he had a toothache so she could obtain hydrocodone, which he was prescribed during emergency room visits in October, February and March.

Online court records don't list an attorney for Kuhns. She faces a preliminary hearing Oct. 20 on charges including statutory sexual assault and corruption of minors.
