Becky Jo Tatum: accused of having sex with a Teen girl COLUMBUS, Ohio — Central Ohio Crime Stoppers on Wednesday offered up to $2,000 for information that leads to the arrest of a Bexley woman accused of having sex with a 14-year-old girl.
Police issued an arrest warrant for Becky Jo Tatum earlier this week after the allegations surfaced in a search warrant, 10TV's Tracy Townsend reported.
The warrant revealed that the 14-year-old girl was at Tatum's home earlier this month when the alleged sexual conduct occurred. The teenager said that she "had been drinking and had a buzz" prior to the incident, according to the warrant.
The teen described Tatum as "flirtatious" and said that Tatum took her by "her left hand (and) guided her upstairs to the master bedroom" where the two had sexual contact.
After Tatum, 41, and the teen allegedly engaged in sexual activity, the girl claimed that Tatum told her that "they had done something bad."
According to Tatum's daughter, her mother has engaged in sexual activity with a number of her friends, Townsend reported.
"(She's) done this before with my friends; I'm kind of used to it," Tatum's daughter said.
Police said they were hopeful that the reward would help them apprehend Tatum.
"It limits the number of places she can hide," said Det. Gerald Milner with Crime Stoppers. "If she's with family members…perhaps they'll accept that there's something wrong with this behavior."
Anyone with information was asked to call Crime Stoppers at 614-645-TIPS.
