Staff Report

BROOKSVILLE - Clarification, April 27: The alleged victim's mother claims that she was not the one to contact authorities and report the incident.

A 32-year-old woman was arrested Friday after she confessed to a months-long sexual relationship with a 17-year-old boy.
Her confession was made to the alleged victim's mother, who contacted authorities on April 8. The woman went to the sheriff's office the next day to make a recorded phone call to the suspect, Vikki Suiters, of 9521 Shaver Road.
During that phone call, Suiters reportedly admitted that she started having feelings for the boy in December 2008. She told the friend that she waited until he turned 17 before initiating a relationship in March, according to a report.
Suiters acknowledged over the phone that it was illegal to have sex with a minor and expressed fear that her children would be taken away by the Department of Children and Families, a report states.
An arrest warrant on a charge of sexual activity with a certain minor was issued and Suiters was subsequently arrested.
