Supervisor at children’s home charged
BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) – A supervisor at an orphans’ home in East Tennessee has been charged with failing to report sex abuse involving a former employee and children at the facility.
The Bristol Herald Courier (http://bit.ly/164U3mn) reports 70-year-old Rosa Emma Honeycutt was indicted this week on the count. Police say she was aware of sex encounters between the former employee and three children at the Tri-State Children’s Home but didn’t report them.
It was unclear whether Honeycutt has an attorney.
A grand jury indicted 26-year-old Sonya Pickel in July on charges of rape, failure to report child abuse, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and giving alcohol to minors.
