According to local jail records, Mowry was a food attendant at a Busch Gardens theme park in Tampa Bay.

In January 2014, she allegedly began a sexual relationship with an 11-year-old boy at her home in Port Richey.

Around this time she became pregnant and gave birth in October 2014, with the boy allegedly being the father.

Between 2014 to 2017, she had repeated sexual encounters with the boy.

Authorities were first notified of the encounters via an anonymous tip to Pasco County deputies.

Hillsborough County Sheriff Office investigators arrested Mowry on June 27th, 2017.

She is being charged with three counts of sexual assault on a victim under 12 years of age and eleven counts of sexual assault by custodian sex battery on a victim above 12 years of age and under 18 years of age.

According to investigators, Mowry has admitted to having a sexual relationship with the minor.

In Mowry's first statement, she accused the boy of forcibly having sex with her while she under the influence of cold medication.
