Woman, 37, rented out room so teen boys could have sex with children
A 37 year-old woman rented a motel room so an 18 year-old year-old boy and his 16 year-old friend could have sex with two 14 year-old girls.
Malissa Jones, 37, was handed probation last Thursday after admitting she facilitated the illegal encounter in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, in November 2017.
The incident was exposed after one of the girls’ dads checked in on his daughter, believing that she was staying with a female schoolfriend.
He called police after discovering neither girl was where they were supposed to be.
Afterwards, police questioned the girls about where they’d been.
One of them said she’d been at a hotel with the 18 year-old Kyle Reyes, and his 16 year-old friend, who cannot be named because of his age.

Jones’ name was mentioned, and she later told police how she’d driven the boys and girls to a local motel.
She said that once there, she 16 year-old gave her cash to hire a room for them.
Jones also admitted she knew the boys were planning on having sex with the girls, but said she thought they’d get home before anyone noticed or got them in trouble.
The fixer struck a plea deal which saw her admit felony endangering the welfare of a minor.
She will have a clean criminal record if she completes her five years probation successfully.
Jones has also been barred from having any contact with the girls, the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette reported.
Reyes has been charged with sexual indecency with a child.
He is next due in court on August 15.
