A West Memphis woman who was once a d̶e̶n̶ ̶m̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ volunteer for an Arkansas C̶u̶b̶ Boy* Scouts troop was arrested Friday on charges stemming from a relationship with a 15-year-old boy from the group, police said.
Christina McCafferty, 38, faces charges of sexual indecency with a child and computer child pornography, Marion Police Department detective Freddy Williams said.
Williams said McCafferty is being investigated "in reference to contact" with a 15-year-old boy with whom she had a relationship. She was arrested Friday morning, Williams said.
The detective said McCafferty was removed from her position in the C̶u̶b̶ Boy* Scouts before her arrest because of "other things going on before these charges," including "inappropriate phone calls" to the teen.
Police said the 15-year-old boy was a member of her C̶u̶b̶ Boy* Scouts troop.
McCafferty was being held in the Crittenden County jail in lieu of $35,000 bond Monday afternoon, Williams said.
A call to the Chickasaw Council of the Boy Scouts of America, which includes Crittenden County, was not immediately returned.
