ADRIAN - An 18-year-old Adrian woman is facing a felony sexual assault charge after being accused of molesting a boy.

Catherine Smith was arraigned Wednesday in Lenawee County District Court on a charge of criminal sexual conduct.

Adrian police said the incident took place Oct. 29 and involved a 13-year-old boy whom she knew because their mothers are friends.

The county's human services department has completed a psychological evaluation of Ms. Smith to determine whether she has a mental condition that could affect the charge against her, authorities said.
