She had sexual encounters with him several times in December, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

She was arrested in January, after which detectives uncovered text messages where the pair “agreed they should get their story straight” and discussed saying the boy initiated the relationship, according to an affidavit viewed by 12 News.

Gonzalez Salinas was booked for seven counts of lewd or lascivious battery of a victim.
