Meet 35 y/o Rachel Lehnardt, an Evans, Georgia Mormon Church going mother of five (5) children ranging from ages four (4) to sixteen (16), who is also a new participant in local AA (Alcoholics Anonymous). That’s her mug shot below….
Rachel was arrested on Saturday, April 11th, 2015. Stemming from events which occurred at a sua sponte (unplanned) party at her house at the request of her sixteen (16) y/o daughter and some of her friends. Rachel was charged with two (2) counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor for acts which occurred during the party, which reportedly involved alcohol, marijuana, “naked Twister” naked hot tubbing and which climaxed (pun intended) in Rachel having sex with her sixteen (16) y/o daughter’s sixteen (16) y/o boyfriend. (As an aside, don’t let your kid’s Google “naked twister”. The one below was pretty much the “tamest” of the images returned…)
Anyhow Rachel’s debaucherous (and criminal) deeds came to light in the wake of the following chain of events:
1) Rachel went to AA as a “baby” (a “new participant”).
2) A woman in the AA group knew Rachel from the Mormon Church that they both attend. More specifically, this woman knew Rachel from a “sexual deviants” group within the Mormon Church in which they both participate. Rather than “sponsoring” (being a “Sober Person Offering a Newcomer Suggestions on Recovery”) Rachel herself, this woman asked her own charge, Ms. Arirault (first name unknown), who had four (4) years of sobriety under her belt, to serve as Rachel’s sponsor.
3) Ms. Arirault agreed, reached out to Rachel and invited Rachel over to her home on April 10th, 2015 for coffee and to discuss future sobriety plans.
4) During the course of this discussion Rachel reportedly made the following admissions:
a) Rachel advised that she was four (4) days sober, coming off of a court hearing on Monday, April 6th, 2015 where she had lost custody of her five (5) children.
b) Rachel told Ms. Arirault that her sixteen (16) y/o daughter, who had been staying with her biological father, had called Rachel and asked if she could come to Rachel’s house “to party”.
c) Rachel, being down with that, permitted her daughter to come over with some of her friends, and the crew, minors included, smoked pot and drank booze until a game of “Naked Twister” broke out.
d) As the game got steamy Rachel took the opportunity to go into the bathroom and have sex with an eighteen (18) y/o party-goer.
e) Still horny after the sex Rachel broke out some sex toys and both vaginally and anally penetrated herself in front of the teens while their Naked Twister game continued.
f) The group retired to the hot tub and continued the naked party.
g) Unable to keep up with the young-ins Rachel went to bed but was awoken at approximately 3:30 am as she was being penetrated by her sixteen (16) y/o daughter’s sixteen (16) y/o boyfriend.
h) Rachel told Ms. Arirault, who reportedly “struggled to keep an expression to portray that she was not judging Ms. Lenhardt as she told her this story”, that she had discussed the matter of having sex with her daughter’s sixteen (16) y/o boyfriend with her sixteen (16) y/o daughter and that the daughter responded that she (the daughter) “felt guilty because the 16-year-old was 10 inches long and huge, and if she had just been able to take it, he wouldn’t have needed to rape her mother”.
5) Ms. Arirault promptly called the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office and Rachel was arrested based upon her sponsor’s report to police.
6) Per the articles that I read Rachel does not face any sex related charged because Georgia permits consent at age sixteen (16) and there was no one under that age present. (** Note that this does not hold true in Florida. ** In Florida gender is irrelevant. What is relevant is age, and, depending upon the age, then consent. In Florida a 16 or 17 y/o can, legally / lawfully, consent to sexual relations, but ONLY with someone who is aged 23 or younger. In Florida, if you are younger than 16 then your consent, no matter how heartfelt, is legally insufficient and will not be a factor in an ensuing criminal prosecution. Similarly, if you are able to consent (if you are 16 or 17) but you have sexual relations with someone who is 24 or older, then your consent is similarly legally insufficient and will not be a factor in an ensuing criminal prosecution. In Florida that’s the law. Its black and white. No exceptions. No excuses. No wiggle room. If either the minor is under 16 or the adult is over 23 the its a 100% “NO”, and even if both parties consent and fall within this age range then, for many reasons, it remains a delicate situation.)
The Columbia County Sheriff’s Narrative report is pictured below and a link to it can be found here.
Memo to the Folks: Naturally no one can control what anyone else might say or do, but, in this case, apparently “but for” Rachel having voluntarily offered information about “the party”, her sponsor would not have known about and therefore would not have called the police and reported her and she may (again, no one can control what anyone else might say or do) not ever have been arrested in this case. Thus, my advise to you, dear readers, is, IF YOU HAVE DONE (or plan on doing) ANYTHING ILLEGAL, THEN…
