Pittsburgh-Area Ex-Fire Chief, Wife Accused Of Inappropriate Contact With Teen Boy

PITTSBURGH, PA — A former Pittsburgh-area fire chief's wife allegedly exposed herself to a 14-year-old junior firefighter and told him she wanted to have sex with him when he turned 18.

Former Fair Oaks Fire Chief Nathan Turner and Stephanie Ann Turner, both of Leet, are charged with corruption of minors, unlawful contact with a minor, indecent exposure, harassment, open lewdness and criminal conspiracy.

Warrants have been issued for the Turners' arrest, WPXI-TV reported.

Investigators apparently found incriminating text messages the couple shared about the teen and Stephanie Turner's desire for him. The texts were discovered when Nathan Turner's phone was seized during an investigation of a theft from the Sewickley Water Authority, where he formerly was employed.

The texts supposedly include an admission from Stephanie Turner to her husband that she exposed herself to the teen in the Turner home.

The Fair Oaks Fire Department issued the following statement in regard to the accusations:

"The department currently has no comment on the recent allegations concerning former Chief Nathan Turner and his wife Stephanie Turner. Any requests for information or comment should be directed to the law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation.

"Mr. Turner and his wife are no longer associated with the department and no longer participate in any capacity with the department. Mr. Turner resigned as chief in August of 2025 and has not participated in any capacity in the department since his resignation.

"The department further acknowledges that the allegations against Mr. and Mrs. Turner are concerning and serious in nature. They do not reflect that values and standards of the department, the fire service and the community."
