GLENDALE, AZ — Glendale police arrested a woman accused of sexually abusing a teen boy she met while working at a group home for foster kids.
Onneka Ryan, 29, was booked into the Maricopa County Jail last week.
On April 13, she was charged with sexual conduct with a minor, luring a minor for sexual exploitation and child enticement.
Glendale police say Ryan met the alleged 15-year-old victim when he was living at the Mi Casa Su Casa group home where she worked.
According to court records, Ryan told the boy how to sneak out of the facility to meet her at her apartment. Authorities say they obtained video showing some of the alleged sex acts.
Ryan denied having sex with the victim and asked for a lawyer after police told her there was video, according to the probable cause statement.
Police alleged that other videos they received depict Ryan being at a park with juveniles who were smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol.
Editor's Note: Court records that ABC15 originally utilized to report about this crime conflated the name of a previous group home where the suspect worked with her employer at the time of the alleged crime. The article has since been updated to reflect the proper group home.
