By JOSEP ALLISON Confession of a 20-year-old
woman today that she took §
part in teen-age sex-liquor parties is expected to lead to
the arrest of five men and “at least a dozen” more juveniles.
The woman, Mrs. Ferne Jean Carter, ‘told Juvenile Aid Division policewomen she had taken
part in drinking and sex parties §
for three days at the apartment
of a 33-year-old mother named |
as ringleader in the orgies.
Mrs. Carter admitted to Juve- §
nile Court officers today she had been intimate with a 16-year-old boy also held in the case. Juvenile Court officials originally had expected arrests in the case to end with that of two adults and six teen-agers.
Others Named
“Many other persons” named in statements given the court by the juveniles,” court workers said. However, none was identified well enough to be found until Mrs. Carter talked.
Her statements given to police and court officials today are expected to give clues leading to the arrest of others involved. At the same time, Prosecutor | Frank. Fairchild said he is investigating hints of dope use and
prostitution in the case.
Mrs. Carter today was arraigned in Juvenile Court on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and is being held on $750 bond.
