Beggs Police Investigate Small Town Sex Ring

By Ashli Sims, The News On 6

BEGGS, OK - Police are looking for more victims in a small town sex ring uncovered this week in Beggs. They suspect that other underage boys were seduced by two women who are behind bars now in the Okmulgee County Jail.

Friday revealed details about a small town sex ring.  Beggs Police say two women confessed to seducing as many as 10 teenage boys, plying them with drugs and alcohol.  "She said that it brought her back to her teenage years. And that she got 'that look,'" said Beggs Police Chief James Poulin.

Chief Poulin told The News On 6 there could be more victims and more arrests.

"In my 18 years of law enforcement this is one of the strangest cases that's unfolded,'" said Beggs Police Chief James Poulin.

It all started with a father who brought his 14-year-old son to the police station last week.

"We've learned that he was having a sexual relationship with a 30-year-old woman here in Beggs,'" said Beggs Police Chief James Poulin.

Police say it turns out it wasn't just one woman or just one boy.

"To me it's the same thing as prostitution.  It was a big sex ring going on there and these kids knew, ‘hey we can go have sex, get drugs, we can drink and smoke there without our parents even knowing,'" said Beggs Police Chief James Poulin.

Police arrested 30-year-old Mindy Carder and 21-year-old Ashley Sprague.

Chief Poulin says both confessed to being high on drugs, seducing multiple boys and giving them marijuana and alcohol.

"She said that it brought her back to her teenage years. And that she got ‘that look' that they couldn't get. And, that she absolutely fell in love with one of these boys,'" said Beggs Police Chief James Poulin.

Poulin fears as many as 10 boys may have hung out at the home.  And now, there are concerns that one of the women may have a sexually transmitted disease.  So, he's encouraging parents to have a heart to heart with their sons.

"These young boys, they think that they understand, but my heart hurts for 'em,'" said Beggs Police Chief James Poulin.  "Without arguing or fussing and fighting say, ‘hey listen this is what's going on.  Have you been a part of it? Mom and dad are concerned and we want to make sure you are OK.'"

The chief says the investigation is not over.

"There's probably going to be more arrests. The more we learn, we're gonna come get em.  We are going to come get them,'" said Beggs Police Chief James Poulin.

Mindy Carder's bond was set at $76,000 for three counts of statutory rape and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.  Ashley Sprague is facing a $25,000 bond for one count of each.
