Report: Clinton Babysitter Pleads Guilty to Multiple Counts of Reckless Endangerment

Loni Bouchard, 21, of Clinton, pleaded guilty to three counts of reckless endangerment at Middletown Superior Court on June 28, according to The New Haven Register.

According to The New Haven Register, Loni Bouchard, 21, of 133 West Main Street, Clinton, has pleaded guilty to three counts of reckless endangerment stemming from a 2011 charge of having sexual relationships with two 14-year-old boys. She was 19 at the time. 

The Register reports that Bouchard was arrested after the mother of a boy she was babysitting at the time found romantic messages on Facebook between the two. Police later found after investigations that she was allegedly involved in two separate sexual relationships with different boys.

According to a Patch article posted in July 2011, Police said "Bouchard had been hired to act as a babysitter for the boy, but the relationship allegedly evolved into a sexual affair that lasted some six months." On July 12, 2011, Bouchard came to the Clinton Police Department to turn herself in where she was arrested and processed.
