Mom Faces More Charges In Sex Case Involving Teens

BRADENTON, FL — The number of teenage boys a Bradenton mother is accused of engaging in inappropriate sexual activity with has climbed to five. The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office announced three additional victims in the case against Jaimie Ayer, 40, on Friday.

“Ayer has been charged with an additional four counts of unlawful sexual activity with certain minors,” a Friday email from the sheriff’s office said. “This brings the total number of victims to five.”

According to the sheriff’s office, all three newly identified victims are 16-year-old boys. The charges stem from the same Dec. 23, 2016, incident that led to Ayer’s initial arrest earlier this week.

Detectives began investigating Ayer’s alleged activities on Wednesday when a report about her giving alcohol to teens and engaging in “sexual acts with juveniles” was filed, the sheriff’s office said.

Deputies on Thursday said Ayer engaged in sexual activity with two teenage boys, ages 16 and 17, at her home on Dec. 23, 2016. According to an arrest report, Ayer's child and several classmates had a gathering at her home on Dec. 23. During that gathering, Ayer is accused of coming home and providing alcohol to the minors, the report said.

"Jamie continued to socialize and drink with the minors, eventually telling (a boy) that she needed to shower and that he should come help her," the arrest report said. Several witnesses told deputies that they later saw Ayer engaged in sexual activity with two boys.

Ayer was originally brought into custody on three counts of unlawful sexual activity with certain minors. The sheriff’s office has not released further information about the case.

Anyone with information relevant to the case is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 941-747-3011.
